There have been 12 bug-fix releases since then on the 8.0 branch including
updating timezones to reflect the new daylight saving time rules for North
America, various crashes, data corruption, and security bugs. There is no
reason not to upgrade to the current latest 8.0 branch release which is
8.0.13.


Separately, you may not want to upgrade to 8.2 now for operational reasons but
reporting "wishlist" bugs against a version that's two major releases old is
almost certainly going to be pointless. Postgres is moving ahead so fast that
the chances that your wish is granted already in more recent releases are very
high.
