+2 then :)
1. Current behavior is to issue the « -i warning » even when having minor
version mismatch, getting rid of this would be great... even more so now
we know there's almost no risk here.
2. Major version mismatch seems to be one of the major migration pitfalls out
there. The famous "You have to dump with the newer pg_dump version against
the current production setup" cookbook entry will certainly be better
embedded into the code.
