Oops, yes. Thank you for the correction.

We also have "8.4.x series" in the core code. Do you think we also
rewrite those messages? One of them is an use-visible message.

LargeObjectAlterOwner() : pg_largeobject.c
* The 'lo_compat_privileges' is not checked here, because we
* don't have any access control features in the 8.4.x series
* or earlier release.
* So, it is not a place we can define a compatible behavior.

guc.c
{"lo_compat_privileges", PGC_SUSET, COMPAT_OPTIONS_PREVIOUS,
gettext_noop("Enables backward compatibility in privilege checks on large objects"),
gettext_noop("When turned on, privilege checks on large objects perform "
"with backward compatibility as 8.4.x or earlier releases.")
