I've read that the use of the term "minor release" can be confusing. While
the versioning page clearly describes what is eligible for a minor release,
not everyone reads it, so I suspect that many folks think there are new
features, etc. in minor releases. I think a "minor release" of Postgres is
more similar to what other projects would call a "patch version."
