There was notice, to them as were paying attention (eg, anyone who tried
a beta release). More to the point, I can name half a dozen other
incompatible changes in 7.3 (most, but not all, forced by schema
support) that will undoubtedly break some apps. We cannot have a
transition plan and backwards-compatibility kluge for every little
compatibility issue, or our progress will grind to a standstill.
According to the start of this thread, RT's author has recommended that
RT users stick to PG 7.2 until he can fix the app. That seems a
perfectly sensible answer to me.
