Yesterday, I chose to do the same. No problem has been met so far.
Oh, yes, only a small thing: scripts have had to be modified:
i was doing "select distinct on my_field aaa, bbb, my_field ..."
which is not correct any more. Pg7 insists that you write
"select distinct on (my field) aaa, ...." instead. That's all
I've got to say about it, so far.

Thanks you everyone who coded it, for this smart new Pg release.
