That was not the point. The last minor update in this branch (9.0) is
9.0.9. You're missing fixes and improvements that happened between 9.0.1
and 9.0.9, that's what Scott probably meant. And some of those fixes may
be quite important, so do the upgrade ASAP.

These minor updates are binary compatible, so all you need to do is
shutting down the DB, updating the binaries (e.g. installing a new
package) and starting the database again. Upgrading to 9.2 means you'll
have to do a dump/restore and possibly more.
