16255	Drop support for Posgres versions < 8.2 for Django 1.4	Ramiro Morales	nobody	"A year ago a [http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/41a139fe8674b963/da429314d319d582?hl=en&lnk=gst discussion] was started in the django-dev mailing list about making official the minimum PostgreSQL version to be supported by Django for the in-development 1.3 release.

No clear consensus was reached and so, no action items resulted from it.

This ticket proposes simply dropping support for anything older that 8.2. Both 8.0 and 8.1 reached EOL in Nov 2010. See http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Release_Support_Policy
