This is an excellent point for another reason: if you are unfamiliar
with Postgres, I have a sinking feeling that you won't have performed
adequate tests on your application to be sure it still works with
8.3.  It is stricter about some things, and even the Postgres project
got bitten by this one time.  Failing to do those tests will make your
upgrade path painful, particularly if you discover the incompatibility
after running in 8.3 for several hours or days.
