The survey currently up is way out of date. Here's replacement suggestions.
It would also be great if David could announce new surveys in PWN.

chief development PostgreSQL servers running?

production?

============
Upgrades
Q: When do you upgrade your main machines after a new PostgreSQL release?
-- I upgrade during beta

-- Whenever my OS supports the new version
-- Never
