I don't imagine there is enough churn in this area that having a constantly
testing buildfarm animal is a strong need; but a wiki page dedicated to
"Python Support in PostgreSQL" where we can publicly and officially release
testing results and commentary would be an improvement.

As it sounds like the only caveat to supporting 2.3 is that we don't
technically (or do we - is Decimal mandatory?) support an un-modified core
installation but require that at one add-on module be installed.  Assuming
that clears up all the errors Tom is seeing then saying that plpythonu works
with a slightly modified 2.3 on all current releases of PostgreSQL isn't a
stretch nor does it commit us to fixing bugs in the unlikely event that any
are discovered in two extremely stable environments.
