Question to tea leaf readers

We (pgAdmin Development Team) want to release pgAdmin III V1.2 real soon
now, we have the RC version out for a while. Very shortly after we
tagged our RC1 version, the pgsql catalog changed mostly unnoticed by
our core developers (including Dave Page and me), which rendered
pgadmin3RC1 nonfunctional for pgsql8.0beta5.

I wonder if anybody here suspects that some problem under current
investigation might lead to another last-minute catalog change,
corrupting our 8.0 support again.

I know trying to answer my question is speculation to some extent, but
if the tea leaves don't tell, maybe somebody can ask his magic crystal ball?

Regards,
Andreas

There aren't any open problems that might require a catalog change,
and I have my own (Red-Hat-related) reasons for not wanting to see
another initdb before 8.0 final. But there's no guarantee. If we
find a problem that can't reasonably be solved without a catalog
change, then there'll be one...
