I'd be against dropping support before 7.x is officially deprecated.

Just to clearify, if necessary: the current branches (1.6) would still be
supported on 7.3/7.4. Just not the next version.

Ah - fair 'nuff. In that case, whatever makes the developers' lives
easier is grand by me... :-)

I suppose you meant 1.8

Which means we will have to support two branches, REL-1_8_0_PATCHES and
trunk, till 7.4 is officially declared unsupported. If this is the case,
I'm ok with this.

Yes, of course.

Yes. But since we don't add features to REL-1_8_0_PATCHES, most changes
won't be version specific, which makes life easier.

At least that's how I figured it, and I *think* that's what Dave meant :-)

pgAdmin 1.8 will be there for older versions of pg, and it's not like
pg 7.4 is subject to change any more. And people should really
consider upgrading to pg 8.2 or 8.3 by now.
I have tried to cover pg 8.1, 8.2 and to some extent 7.4 in my tests
for 1.8. With the various versions and platforms possible combinations
get out of hand.

So, I'd say, good idea, drop pg 7.4 for trunk.
(I could even imagine to scrap 8.0 as well. That one's not among the
more popular releases anyway)
