Slony I 2.x is still not quite ready for production anyway (but it's
getting close) so you're better off with Slony I 1.2.x anyway. If the
older version of pgsql needs an older slony, then you'd have to go
back to Slony I 1.0.x or 1.1.x or whatever to migrate, then you could
upgrade to Slony I 1.2.latest.

We do all our migrations / upgrades with slony I 1.2.x and it works
like a champ, with total downtime measured in seconds or minutes for
the switchover.
