This is of course a two-edged sword.
1.) Keeping pg_upgrade working, which depends upon pg_dump working;
2.) Maintaining security fixes for 7.2 for a good period of time to come,
since migration from 7.2 to >7.2 isn't easy.
If pg_upgrade is going to be the cookie, then let's all try to test the
cookie. I'll certainly try to do my part.
