pgupgrade has nothing to do with this: that's just a tool that does in
place binary upgrades of the database (basically optimizing the
dump/reload process). The mysql team OTOH maintains a comprehensive
list (albeit somewhat disorganized) of things that need to be
considered by developers and administrators before upgrading.
Postgres has no such list and yes, kudos to the mysql team for doing
so.
