We've migrated 7.4 to 8.1; that interoperability has certainly been
one of OUR requirements :-).

In view that there will be a need to compile Slony-I in both
environments, that certainly undermines the "whatever the distro comes
with" argument, at least in part.

I can't see why someone would be keen of keeping on a release that was
obsoleted nearly two years ago (e.g. - 8.2 was released in December
2006), when there exist some quantity of data-eating bugs between 8.1
and 8.3 that will NEVER be addressed in the 8.1 release.
