I'm 'migrating' (read entirely changing schemas, 'migrating' data) is coming out from a 8.1.11 install. It is not a critical system. The source data is always available from another system and the postgresql system would be a 'client'. So if 8.2.x is so abysmal it should not even be considered for install compared to 8.1.x and that only 8.3.x is viable then ok that makes sense and I have to go the extra mile.
8.2 is a big improvement over the 8.1 you're on now, and 8.3 is a further improvement. If the system isn't critical, it doesn't sound like doing a later 8.2->8.3 upgrade (rather than going right to 8.3 now) will be a big deal for you. Just wanted you to be aware that upgrading larger installs gets tricky sometimes, so it's best to avoid that if you could just do more up-front work instead to start on a later version if practical.
