My last contact with a pg < 8.2 is a couple of years back now. So, no,
I don't test those older versions.

After reading the thread, I would vote for something like this:
- Officially support (and actively care for) versions that pg
officially supports at release time.
- That doesn't mean we have to actively rip out older stuff as long as
it doesn't cause pain.
- IF older stuff is cause for complications, remove it.
- Communicate the policy to our users. Hint towards older versions for
older versions of pg. Maybe even a little table with matching version
numbers?

Add something like this at http://pgadmin.org/index.php and
http://pgadmin.org/docs

"pgAdmin officially supports all officially supported versions of
PostgreSQL at release time. Older versions of the database should
mostly work, too. If you run into problems with an outdated version of
PostgreSQL you may want try an older version of pgAdmin."
