You know, I can't help but thinking that there are a NUMBER of major
items on the TO DO list, this one, and several others that are related.
The point made that future clients and backends can't talk to old tables

third or fourth version, and Postgres does it every minor revision. Hmmmm.
Is there a ROADMAP of integrated todo's somewhere?
