If you look at the developer documentation, you will see I overhauled
the instructions for upgrading a minor release:
http://momjian.us/main/writings/pgsql/sgml/install-upgrading.html
I think that would be a good place to add more text. What additional
text do we need? Something about how you are less likely to hit a new
bug if you minor upgrade than if you stay on an older release?
