Just to start close to home, do you really trust either psql or pg_dump to be completely free of standard_conforming_strings issues? How about JDBC or ODBC? Python drivers? PLs? The really short and sweet answer is that if you have any ambition at all to ship 9.0 this year, it is too late to add new work items.
