Um ... but we still have 2 live pre-9.4 branches. If your proposal
doesn't extend to back-porting all of this stuff as far as 9.2,
I don't see what this is really buying. We'd still need version cutoff
checks in the tests.

(If you *do* propose back-patching all this stuff as far as 9.2, I'm not
quite sure what I'd think about that. But the proposal as stated seems
like questionable half measures.)
