Uh, well, I assume that the person has already shut down all db
connections, and opened it only for super-users. If the system is not
shutting down, that should signal to the user that they have not locked
down the system properly. We would not want someone to connect during
pg_upgrade processing, and doing -m fast is not going to help with that.
