No. The pg_upgrade utility is awesome and I have commended Bruce on 
multiple occasions about his work with it. That being said, the
"solution" is to support in-place upgrades and our work should be toward 
that. The idea that we can support and upgrade to the catalog plus 
backward and forward support for changes to the page files (upgrade the 
page files as they are accessed/written to) is a much longer, more 
mature and reasonable approach to this problem[1].
