Mandatory patches are applied only to 9.2.14 and 9.4.9 versions.

9.2.14:  a postmaster shutdown when server is killed:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/27520.1444682101%40sss.pgh.pa.us
(a patch by Tom Lane, later committed in 9.2 branch)

9.4.9: increase isolation between shared memory segments of different
postmaster instances (really a strange thing, probably unnecessary)
Was not commited anywhere.

We can remove both, we do not want to bother the community with this.
Should we ?

Other patches are applied only when a special environment variable is
set, which is not done by default.
