In addition to that this plan might hold back some people from upgrading
to 8.2 which solves quite a few critical issues with features we
marketed/introduced during the past 8.x cycles and are really getting
polished and usable now (partitioning,pitr,...) and 8.2 gives quite a
nice performance boost for a lot of workloads too.
I frankly won't see many people migrate to 8.2. Most of my customers
will wait for 8.3 anyway. (except new business of course).
I disagree - 8.2 is much more attractive for us then say 8.0 or 8.1 was
and we will probably adopt it rather aggressively ...
That's why I said "I frankly won't". I have customers with multi
terrabyte datasets. 8.1 performs wonderfully for them. It would be a
hard push to initiate an 8.2 outage for that.
