Hello

Exactly this issue and that you have to make a 'full' dump/restore
between major release is a big minus I hear everywhere I explain/discuss
about postgres for 24/7 and big databases.

It would be wonderful to see a solution to these two 'problems' in the
future so postgres becomes an even better product than it is now.
