It would be good to set some parameters before starting: how far
back is reasonable to support? pg_dump goes back to 7.0 but that's now
mostly for historical reasons, ie, 7.0 was the immediately previous
release when we started making it do backwards-compatible dumps. I'm
not sure it's worth the trouble to make psql go that far back. "Back
to 8.0" would be a nice round figure...
Seems fair for an initial target of 8.2. Going forward a policy of "3
years or 3 releases back" seems about right. If people can't bring
themselves to upgrade in that time they can be left on their own.
