I agree, as long as you take non-incremental converters into account
as well. Otherwise, we'd mostly test functionality we don't need later
on (incremental updates).

Yes, that's the point of a distributed VCS. The good thing about it is
that everybody is free to work (including committing) *on his own
copy* of the branch and then provide a patch (or patches) for
committers (or gain commit rights and upload his work later on). That
fits pretty well with the Postgres development process, AFAICT.
