this is exactly the point. nobody will worry if he uses PostgreSQL 78 or PostgreSQL 79 - even if the change is significantly.
what was said about firefox is absolutely correct - personally i don't care at all and somebody should read the docs before deciding on fundamental infrastructure such as a database.
maybe i am too conservative but inflation has never solved a problem - not in real life and not in versioning.

To be honest I am more worried about worrying whether he is using Postgres 94, Postgres 95, or Postgres 96.

At least with the current numbering scheme that problem is well out of the way.
