Yeah.  If you include a catversion bump in a submitted patch, you can
expect the patch to break repeatedly while it's sitting in the queue,
due to unrelated patches changing catversion.  So we prefer to have
the committer add that at the last moment.

If you're worried that the committer might forget that, you can
add a comment about it in the patch's draft commit message.
