I'm one of those who really likes the idea that backporting will be
minimized.

But since jumping a major version of postgresql would require an initdb,
I would prefer not to do that until there is a reliable way to upgrade.

Otherwise, I have the feeling that way to many people would be shocked
to find that the 'update' they just loaded left them without a running
database. Even worse if they have yum nightly updates turned on...
