You can avoid it if you drop and recreate
all *FromWKB() and *FromText() functions.

Another change in the .sql enabler is a more correct use of
IMMUTABLE, STRICT and STABLE keywords, but keeping the
old definitions doesn't hurt much.

It is unlikely, but possibly convenient.

Theoretically you don't *need* a dump/reload unless internal storage
changed (it happened between 0.9 and 1.0), but practically it is usually
easier to do it that way.

The problem is that postgis lacks a strategy for live upgrades.
This needs to be addressed soon or late.
