This would mean that anyone using the floating point timestamps today
won't be able to use pg_upgrade to upgrade to whichever version we
remove them from. 8.3 had float based timestamps as the default and I
suspect many installations with the default 8.3 settings have been
upgraded via pg_upgrade to 9.0 built the old timestamps representation.
