The contents of the system tables are going to change between releases,
almost for sure. What I think we are going to do is have people pg_dump
-schema their databases, mv /data to /data.old, run initdb, run to
create the old schema, and move the data/index files back into place.
I will probably write the script and have people test it.
As long as we don't change the data/index structure, we are OK. Is that
good, or did you think we would be able to get away without system table
changes?
