Some of them are for sure gotchas.  For users of
tranditionally-non-toy (as opposed to recently-non-toy) systems, I'd
think that there are three serious issues: the column alias
(because it strictly violates the SQL definition), the folding to
lower case (same reason), and the UNICODE==UTF-8 issue (because it
violates the UNICODE definition).

Some of them are valid and resolved (the site actually notes as much
in many cases).  

One thing I do note is that there's a workaround for the have-to-dump
issue: you can use Slony to upgrade (by design).  It won't work for
everyone, but it's a big step up in many cases.
