We should not use any 2.0 specific features in 1.3.

I figure 1.4 is a good timeline for 2.0 requirements, depending on how quickly it is adopted by distros.

However, some of the specific features will cause issues for us hence we need to test with it. In particular we do a lot of array parsing of Pg arrays. If those arrays come back as Perl lists, it may mess with our code.
