Just to clarify, was Justin's statement upthread (that the XID problem
is fixed) correct? And is this patch just trying to improve the
remaining memory and lock usage problems?

I took a quick look at the pg_upgrade diffs. I agree with Jan that the
escaping problem is a pretty bad smell, but even putting that aside for
a bit, is it safe to expose arbitrary options to pg_dump/restore during
upgrade? It's super flexible, but I can imagine that some of those flags
might really mess up the new cluster...

And yeah, if you choose to do that then you get to keep both pieces, I
guess, but I like that pg_upgrade tries to be (IMO) fairly bulletproof.
