If we can do that reasonably (which might well be the case), I'd be for
it. What I'm objecting to is what I take to be Bruce's plan of
supporting 8.3 -> 8.4 and 8.4 -> 8.5 with the same pg_migrator sources.
The stuff we're talking about doing in this thread is going to cause
those two cases to diverge rather drastically. 8.3 -> 8.5 and 8.4 ->
8.5 may be close enough together to be reasonable to support in one
set of source code.
