This paragraph is confusing:

Note that, due to a system catalog change, an initdb and database reload 
will be required for upgrading from 9.0Beta1. We encourage users to use 
this opportunity to test pg_upgrade for the upgrade from beta3 or an 
earlier version of 9.0. Please report your results.

It should read instead:

Unlike previous betas, there has been no system catalog change since 
Beta3, so an initdb should not be required to upgrade test databases 
from Beta3.  Upgrading test databases from earlier versions or betas 
will require an initdb, however, so we urge users to take the 
opportunity to test upgrading their database using 9.0's pg_upgrade and 
report the results.

... as I believe we did *not* bump the system catalogs this time.
