I'll take that bet, as it's really hard to imagine anything being worse 
than the pain caused by 8.3 to many people using Postgres. But if 
this is anything at all like that (e.g. requiring rewriting tons of 
SQL queries or modifying system catalogs), then a big fat -1.

I know, probably a moot point by now, but 8.3 is a sore spot 
for me. :)
