Sorry folks, but after a quick discussion we've decided the above needed
some clarification. There are changes incorporated in 7.4.3 that do
require updates to the system catalogs (these are the same changes that
were in 7.4.2) so users upgrading from 7.4.0 or 7.4.1 may want to do an
dump/initdb/reload cycle.

For more information (and as a general rule of thumb) please check out
the previous release notes of those versions that are relevant to your
upgrade. All of the release notes are made available in the online
documentation at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/release.html

Thanks again, and sorry for the confusion.
