Well, that seems okay to me. We used to see a lot of people talking
about "Postgres 8.x" when they meant, say, 8.3; and now we have people
talking about "Postgres 9" when in reality they mean 9.1 or some other
specific major version. Having the second digit be part of the major
version number is a difficult idea to convey to external people.
