Remove pre-7.4 documentaiton mentions, now that 8.0 is the oldest
supported release.
per http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Release_Support_Policy 7.4 is
still supported for a few months to come (and will be EOL'd together with
8.0). I'm also not really sure why we need to change stuff like that, this
kind of information might still be useful for somebody trying to upgrade
from an unsupported release to a supported one.
Yeah.
Well, the documentation still exists in the old releases, even 8.4. The
big question is how much back-version information we should keep in our
docs, and does it make sense to keep paragraphs around that are only
meaningful to < 1% of people reading it. Some people are saying keep
more, some are saying keep less, so I am betting I have hit the proper
balance. ;-)
Well even if it is useful information for only 1% of our readers (which
given the access stats on the html logs is a HUGE number) and we don't
have any real maintenance overhead with keeping it (which I kinda doubt
we have).
And just from looking at some of the hunks in more detail I think we are
actually removing fairly reasonable information (especially if we are
talking stuff like behaviour changes) :/
