Bruce, Tom:

Can we change this text in the template release notes?


A dump/restore using
pg_dumpall<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/app-pg-dumpall.html>,
or use of
pg_upgrade<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/pgupgrade.html>, is
required for those wishing to migrate data from any previous release.


Again, here we're recommending pg_dumpall with its many limitations, and
not mentioning pg_dump/pg_restore at all.  This has caused several
people to ask me if pg_dump is not supported for upgrading anymore.  Fix?
