Due to overwhelming agreement, it is 6.6. I personally vote for 7.0,
and so do you, but we are outnumbered. We can revisit this as the
release gets closer, but to change it then, I am going to have to change
PG_VERSION, and that will require initdb for everyone. Perhaps just
before we enter beta, we can discuss it, knowing then what our features
will be.
