It appears that the pg_migrator README needs a bit of revision to make
it more clear which limitations apply to migration between which
versions. In particular, the current wording suggests that NONE of
the limitations apply to 8.3 -> 8.5 migrations, which is not the case
- e.g. we haven't done anything about the need to rebuild certain
types of indices.
