Comment (by robe):

 Nicklas,
 Very Good idea.  I like the idea of keeping the costs in a separate file.
 That way if people decide they want different costs for their functions,
 they can simply just not run that file.  However -- I still want to get
 rid of 8.2, just from a keeping my sanity point of view.  I would like it
 that at any point in time, we only need to test at most 2 versions of
 PostgreSQL for new features. Trying to remember what we can and can't do
 for 2 versions is enough without having to worry about a third. Now we
 have 8.3 and 8.4 and 8.5 has already started their cycle -- so we'll want
 to start testing out 8.5 in probably another 3-4 months (or less).

 I'm not saying we won't support 8.2.  we just shouldn't support it for 1.5
 and beyond.  I still expect we will support 1.4, 1.3 for years to come,
 but that support will just be security fixes and major bug fixes that
 could corrupt data.
