Which leaves users with the same problem.  they upgrade an existing package 
and suddenly their existing databases are unusable.  The point is that they 
are different packages.  If you call the new one postgresql74 then anyone 
upgrading to it knows that it is different and that a dump and reload is 
necessary.

However, I do agree that changing the name of the old one to postgresql73 
would also be a good idea for consistency.
