It is an *incremental* change on the way to 2.9 compatibility. Adding
patches in an incremental fashion like this is quite normal (it's been
done before on a number of occasions in PostgreSQL and pgAdmin) as it
makes them much easier to review and commit, than huge monolithic
patches. An incremental patch may not bring full compatibility, but it
addresses a specific set of issues, and does so in a way that doesn't
break the existing builds.
