The changes in pqxx we have problem with are related to API. I think we agreed 
this is not something one expect from minor release. Especially that the topic 
is covered when KOffice is tagged, so patches that "at least compile" are not 
enough, although thanks for providing them - we can publish them within the 
release notes for users of pqxx 2.6.9.
