Yes, we dropped:
a) Support for 7.3 in the 1.2 branch
b) Support for anything less than 8.3 in the 2.0 branch

I'd *expect* log shipping to work across major versions; it doesn't use 
any of the aspects of functionality that would break between Slony-I 1.2 
versus 2.0 or between versions of PostgreSQL.

Unfortunately, log shipping has been troublesome functionality to get 
just right (there were quite a lot of changes in the 1.2 branch relating 
to log shipping fixes), and I haven't seen enough reports of major usage 
of it in production to be really  highly confident in it.
