Today I was hacking a new set of pg_upgrade cherry-picks [0]. While
doing so, I discovered that Apache Cloudberry (CDBD) has basically no
CI for pg_upgrade (and thus, gp_upgrade). I believe this open source
project should derive the best service and experience to its community
and users, and thus we need to begin supporting gp_upgrade scenarios
(or, at least, activity in that direction). This includes, at very
least, CDBD to CDBD binary upgrade support. In ideal case, with
release of CDBD there will be support for 1.6 to 2.0 binary upgrade
using gp_upgrade, along with comprehensive instructions on how to
handle specific problems. I am aware that this is overly optimistic,
though.

I'll keep working in this direction, attempting to engage as many
engineer resources (other pg/cbdb hackers) as possible. I cannot,
however, promise that I will be successful here by the release of 2.0.
