<grin> You're always faced with the decision of which set
of bugs/features to stick with during development. If we
upgrade every time there is a new release, we spend lots of
time doing upgrades instead of developing! :-(
The folks watching the Postgres releases haven't yet said
we need to "step forward". The only problem *I* have found
has been documentation related (above) so not an inconvenience.
I don't believe any other folks have experienced major lossage
(here) under 8.0.3. So, it hasn't been expensive to stick
with a non-current release. (hopefully it will stay that
way for us for a while longer, yet...)
