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.
