(no opinion on mysql) Given that the last pgsql release had 9. 1 2 3 4 5, it seems that 9.3 is not yet crufty. We might well want to always stay one major version behind in the default, since for pkgsrc users not making a choice, stability seems to the most important thing. Another thought is whether it's better to jump 2 versions less often, or 1 every year. Updating of course is work for each user with the dump/restore. But probably the real work and unknown is fixing up sql for tightened error checking.
