Well, 100GB maybe excessive for this example. but I'm sure there are plenty of running-on-a-shoe-string shops that don't have DB x 2 space avail. Then again, those places are very likely the ones who will not be upgrading.
but this isn't a problem specific to PG.. all db's suffer from it.. and slony so far seems to provide the easiest, safest path for a PG upgrade... in my case the problem is I do have another server with plenty of room, but it doesn't have much CPU or RAM and cannot handle the volume of live traffic the master gets. So I have no choice but to plead my case and ask for some downtime. oh well.
