I am sure that will change soon.  :-)  The right URL is now #7 on
Google:

	http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/pgupgrade.html

You certainly could have.  The docs say:

	F.31.1. Supported Versions
	
	pg_upgrade supports upgrades from 8.3.X and later to the current major

In fact, we were hoping people would test pg_upgrade during the required
beta2 catalog change.
