That means in particular that no one has even bothered to track "known issu=
es" in 8.1 since 2010.  It'd be a reasonable bet for example that many of t=
he issues that were fixed in 8.2 after 8.2.19 are also in 8.1, but no one a=
ssociated with the project has checked.  And 8.2 went out of support a year=
 later, so it'd only be a good guide to the next year's worth of fixes.  It=
's not exactly uncommon for us to make fixes that go into all active branch=
es and would probably apply to older ones if we were still supporting them.

I'd suggest close study of all the later minor-release release notes to see=
 what fixes might be applicable to 8.1.  Or perhaps your time would be bett=
er spent on migrating to a newer release --- the performance and feature ga=
p between 8.1 and current Postgres is pretty wide.
