At some point, probably. It would be surprising for version 10 to be
_so_ incompatible with its predecessors that PostgreSQL would be
totally broken there.

But Sun seems to still be in the "preparing to release it" phase; it
will be tough to predict what happens before release. And it's not
evident that version 10 is necessarily something to jump to quickly.

little value to leaping to 10 quickly;

in being an 'early adopter.'
