Gavin Sherry and I have just spent a week at the Linux.conf.au. The feedback we got from users was basically this: 1. We don't allow untrusted users unlimited SQL access 2. Upgrading PostgreSQL sucks 3. We want important corruption fixes 4. So, keep supporting older versions (7.2.x at least) So, basically I think it is a VERY good idea for us to keep releasing 7.2.x versions for a long time. BTW, I'll be posting a linux.conf.au postgres report soonish...
