Because that's incorrect. Slony-I can run on 7.3 and newer, even cross
version ... leading to a completely different angle to look at it.

What about this (the wording needs improvement, but you get the picture):

--
In time for the 8.0 PostgreSQL release, a new replication solution has
become availe. Among many advanced features Slony-I supports replicating
between different PostgreSQL versions. Together with the possibility to
be deployed on existing installations running 7.3 or newer and its
capability to transfer the master role in a controlled and secure way,
Slony-I allows upgrading of large scale enterprise databases with only
seconds of downtime.
