Yes. Please!

I get tired of explaining to people that PostgreSQL "9.x" isn't a thing, that yes, 9.3 and 9.4 really _do_ have incompatible data directories and replication protocols, and that when the docs say "major version" they don't mean "major version as you might actually expect" but "first two version number parts".

Lets get rid of this user-baffling wart.
