I guess you maintaining your own fork? ;-)


Simply put, earlier versions threw away the contents of pg_hba and
reloaded it completely. The support for keeping the old one around in
case of syntax errors is new for 8.4. You'd basically require
backpatching of large parts of that patch, and that's not going to happen.
