Because there is a strong desire to get rid of ARC ASAP. Which I am
comfortable with IF there is an agreement that 8.1 wont require an initdb. I
certainly can't take down my production servers for the amount of time needed
for dump/reload, so if that is going to be required then I'm sure we'll not
do an upgrade until 8.1 is released, and I'd imagine a lot of others would
fall into this as well.
