I'll take that bet, as it's really hard to imagine anything being worse
than the pain caused by 8.3 to many people using Postgres. But if
this is anything at all like that (e.g. requiring rewriting tons of
SQL queries or modifying system catalogs), then a big fat -1.

I know, probably a moot point by now, but 8.3 is a sore spot
for me. :)
