My recommendation at this point is to NOT release an official update to 
PostgreSQL 7.4 exactly because of the data incompatibility.  If people want 
PostgreSQL 7.4 RPMs on their FC1, they can traipse over to 
ftp.postgresql.org.... :-)

Maybe by the time FC2 is out I can have the multiversion install stuff 
working.
