What kind of incompatibilities are we talking about here really? Is there
anything that can't be resolved via
* big warning signs
* pg_dump or (to be created) friends
* supporting the old stuff for a while as well
* automated conversion of the things using the old stuff
* informative documents outlining the reason of the change and how to
cope with it?

Things change all the time, that's a fact of life.

If foreign keys get done this is definitely the greatest thing in the
world for the end user, so 7.0 is a good name.
