I really don't see why we're resisting Josh's idea of putting a more complex set of migration instructions in the documentation someplace. Seems useful to me. Sure, we'd have to "carry" it forever, but we could make a policy of removing migration instructions for releases that are now EOL. And even if we didn't, it's not like extra documentation comes with some big cost. I think a lot of users would benefit from a substantial expansion of our documentation, not just in this area but in many other areas as well. I bet that we could double the size of the documentation and users would love it; the hard part would be finding qualified people to write high-quality documentation of all the things that aren't well-explained in the current docs. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
