Josh, you're being extremely unhelpful by presenting the problem in
this narrow minded "correct" vs "incorrect" way.
I'm going to go on the record now that if Bruce gets pg_migrator
working for 8.4 (which he seems to think might still happen) it's
entirely possible that the Red Hat packages won't *ever* switch away
from FP timestamps; or at least not till the next upgrade cycle that
pg_migrator doesn't work for. It won't be worth the pain of forcing
a dump/reload just to change the representation of timestamps.
regards, tom lane
