"Easy" doesn't mean that it doesn't "take time".  As with most
projects, *that* is usually the limiting factor (only so many
hours in a day!)

I've found it is reasonably painless to move (forward) along the
pg upgrade path.  It's a bit of a chore dumping and reloading
an entire database (depending on size and secondary storage you have
available to you) but (so far), so far, the process seems to go without
a hitch.

OTOH, I always build from sources so if you're stuck waiting for
a prepackaged binary, your mileage *will* vary  :-/
