Yeah, I think the main issue in all this is that for real production sites, upgrading Postgres across major releases is *painful*. We have to find a solution to that before it makes sense to speed up the major-release cycle.
Well, I think one of the simplest is to do a topological sort of objects in pg_dump (between object classes that need it), AND regression testing for pg_dump :)
