The quality gap between contrib and the main system is a lot smaller
than it used to be, at least for those contrib modules that have
regression tests. Main and contrib get equal levels of testing from
the buildfarm, so they're about on par as far as portability goes.
We could never say that before 8.1 ...
(Having said that, I think that tsearch2 will eventually become part
of core, but probably not for awhile yet.)
