> If there is one feature I wish PG had, it is recognizing old format db and offering one command that can in place upgrade damn db, without me googling it every time.

So your having to Google for five minutes when doing a major version upgrade is the biggest flaw in modern postgres? Oh come on now.

P.S. pg_upgradecluster in Debian would probably do this for you without googling

It's not an unreasonable request, and certainly worth some effort to improve.

That being said, if upgrade is the biggest problem, that's great news!

Hey, I know it sounds a little spoiled, but when I am focused on something else, especially in development context, I could use some more automated way.

I am sorry you got downvoted, but as you can see, it is a genuine pain that software should do for us. On other hand, PG is fantastic DB and it is great I have this as a problem.
