Ouch. I'd like to see an easy upgrade path, but I'd rather have a 7.5 with PITR then an in-place upgrade. Perhaps the demand for either is associated with the size of the db vs. the fear associated with an inability to restore to a point-in-time. My fear of an accidental: DELETE FROM foo; is greater than my loathing of the upgrade process. > What good are great features if it's a PITN to get upgraded to them? What good is an in-place upgrade without new features?
