:-)

That wasn't the first cut at pg_upgrade, but IMO it's the best cut at  
it so far.

What folks sometimes neglect to realize is how programmable the  
backend of PostgreSQL really is, and how that a full upgrade can  
involve recompiling or rebuilding functions inside the database (you  
can have user-written functions in C, Perl, Python, Tcl, and Ruby with  
Fedora-stock packages, for instance).  That was always the hardest  
part of trying to upgrade PostgreSQL in a sane fashion.

And there is a postgresql-upgrade package in the repositories, but  
not, apparently, on the install DVD.
