However, as someone who is constantly on dozens of postgresql versions every day, I honestly fail to see the benefit here. I get that you "like" the idea, what I don't get is the appreciable benefit to having the version in a matching system. What do I gain by knowing that I attached to 8.2.4 of psql with 8.2.6 of postgresql? Sincerely, Joshua D.
