Yeah, I don't know.


Here's what I have so far:

. for HEAD/18 disable running the analyze script / vacuumdb --analyze.

. turn off autovacuum on the old and upgraded database.

. reverse the order of testing so we do newest first


What I'm thinking of doing is running all the eligible upgrades rather 
than stopping on the first failure.
