There is no clear consensus why some major versions  should be more
major than others, and breaking compatibility is off the table as reason
it seems.

So moving to just a major version is fixing the "I am on Postgres 9"
issue, which was broken IMO, and it also fixes the 50+ mail threads
every release about "this should be the next .0" which were/are draining
the community as well.

It's been decided to investigate the new version scheme at the Developer
Meeting after extensive discussions so I wonder why we need to kep
argueing about the bikeshed now.
