Or is this a FAQ thing we're talking about? The problem is what to tell people to read if they want to transition from an unsupported version to a supported version. If we really wanted to save some space, we could cut all the release notes for pre-7.4 (soon pre-8.0) releases. But somehow that doesn't seem like a good idea. What it would mainly accomplish is to make it hard to find the old information when you wanted it. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
