Uh, pg_upgrade always either creates a hard link tree or copies
everything over. If I follow what you're suggesting, pg_upgrade would
need a new 'in-place' mode that removes all of the catalog tables from
the old cluster and puts the new catalog tables into place and leaves
everything else alone.
I don't really think I'd want to go there either..
Thanks,
