The "may" is because I could *not* test:
Works for me with 8.2.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Earlier branches fail immediately: dropping old tables... ERROR:
syntax error at or near "exists" LINE 1: drop table if exists
pgbench_accounts, pgbench_branches, pgb...

Ok, even before the create table with a fillfactor.
We could probably fix that if anyone cared, but I doubt anyone does.
Indeed, if people needed using a new pgbench against a that old server,
they would have complained.
The point was just to document the current status of pgbench
compatibility, and 8.2 onward is the answer.
