I think it would make sense to call out that we're greasing the
protocol with the the beta[1]. Probably in the "Testing for Bugs &
Compatibility" section. Something like this:

During the beta period libpq will request non-existing versions of the
postgres protocol to allow us to bump the default protocol version in
the future, see [this wiki page for
details](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Grease).
