Sure.  I'd still prefer us to adopt the solution I've been promoting,
obviously, which I think has more merits.  Namely no directory scanning,
easy to support extension names such as postgis-1.5, and easy to support
for a single upgrade file supporting upgrades from more than a single
version, and bypassing entirely the need to know what version numbering
scheme is in use: you just don't need to know how to compute previous or
next version number.

Now it's all about tradeoffs, and I'm just trying to explain what the
one I'm doing here seems to me to have lot of sense.
