Yeah, but I'm not expecting any help from the community on that ;-).
(In practice it's hard to imagine any support request for which I'd
not tell the user to get off 7.1 anyway...)

7.3 is still reasonably supportable, ie, it's not so full of unfixable
problems. Nonetheless it's not clear that the PG development community
ought to be spending time on it. One way to phrase this discussion is
whether the community still wants to help me support 7.3/RHEL3. If
y'all feel you have better uses of your time, I understand completely.
