Here lies the real secret to why Open Source of all types keeps the techies (like us) maximally happy: I know I've seen Tom Lane (and others) often suggest an upgrade as the real fix for a problem, but the suggestion to upgrade to a not yet released version invariably includes the option of applying the patch yourself.
