+1 (I'm reading this as a very general proposal also targeting C APIs, not only GUCs). > Comments? With the proposed policy we'd have to recommend users to upgrade in steps of at least every 2nd release for these obsoleteness and deprecation warnings to have any effect. However, I'm often seeing users taking pretty large steps like upgrading from 7.4 to 8.3. OTOH those users are certainly prepared for major incompatibilities and prepared to adjust their code. However, the value of 2 in N+2 is certainly debatable.
