7.1 insists that you provide an *unconditional* DO INSTEAD rule
for a view.  What do you think was happening on your old database
when the "where old.status = 'appr'" clause wasn't satisfied?
Nothing good I'm afraid.

If you really do need conditional rules, you can satisfy the check
by writing one unconditional DO INSTEAD NOTHING rule and then one
or more conditional non-INSTEAD rules.  But you should think carefully
about what you expect to happen when you use a conditional rule.
