I've been considering only maintaining the current and previous 2
versions in pgInstaller (the Windows binary distro). But that's a *lot*
harder to maintain than just PostgreSQL because of all the bundled
stuff. In other words, when 8.3 is out, the 8.0 series gets dropped.

What do people think about that? Does anyone think it would be an
unreasonable policy?
