We have a project policy that we *never* force initdb in a minor
release.  So the on-disk representation is always compatible.
If you were trying to update from 8.1.0 to 8.1.4 on a single
machine, you might need to take appropriate steps suggested in
the release notes.  But moving to another machine (of the same type)
doesn't make that harder ... or easier.
