Hello admins!

i need to collect as much information

pro/cons on a possible upgrade from

7.4 ---> 8.0/8.1 version

Aside from getting our users vote on this, I wanted to ask you first
in order to collect any possible issues one might run into from
upgrading to such
versions.

Downside:  You gotta dump and reload, or use slony to minimize the
downtime, but you need a spare machine to do that.

Actually, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to use slony to upgrade on the same machine, provided that machine has enough resources to run two installs of PostgreSQL and the databases simultaneously.
