To be honest, I don't know why it was every put on pgsq.com in the first
place, and think the whole thing should be re-written ... the original
purpose was to get an idea of who was using what version, as well as to
get a feel for the size of dataases ppl are using ... but, there is no way
of changing ones data after the fact, so, of course, when you upgrade you
can't reflect that ...

Personally, I think the work on case studies going on right now are of
more value ... at they provide more info, and more an understanding of why
...
