IMHO this should be backpatched to REL7_4_STABLE.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to ***@postgresql.org)

This is well out in the get-a-life region of security issues.

Oh, absolutely, but if it's worth fixing at all, I think we may as well
backpatch it to 7.4 -- for no other reason than the security advisories
that are open right now can be closed.

TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your
joining column's datatypes do not match

Who exactly will ever use this script again against 7.4?
