May I also make the point that I have only _just_ upgraded all our
production database servers to 7.4? Unless there are really compelling
new features in 7.5, I as yet see no reason to upgrade to 7.5 at any point.
As Postgres gets larger and postgres databases get larger, and we
properly maintain the previous versions, then the need to upgrade is
gone. It doesn't matter to me if it's a 1 year or 2 year development
cycle at the moment.
