Yes, but there are good reasons not to go down that route. One is that:

1) It looks like I'am going to be the only one, beware of the dragons.
2) It requires apparently a re-initdb, thus dump/restore of 4.5TB of data

The latter can absolutely be done by scheduling downtime, but the former
would compromise any level of good practice around our DB-operations.
