I just had a discussion with someone off-list, where he was looking at
the documentation page of a contrib module at www.postgresql.org/docs.
Looking at the page, he came to the conclusion that the module was no
longer supported in 9.2, because the header at the top of the page said:

"This page in other versions: 9.1 / 9.0 / 8.4 / 8.3 | Unsupported
versions: 9.2 / devel"

I find the links really helpful, but apparently they can be
misunderstood. Perhaps we should change the "Unsupported versions" text
to "future versions" or "Development versions". Or change "9.2" to "9.2
(beta)", and remove the "Unsupported versions" text altogether.
