Unless forced because there is no other way to fix a bug, we do not
change any functionality of the system within a release branch. The
PostgreSQL version number has three components:

<major>.<minor>.<patchlevel>

Every minor release has its own branch within the source repository.
Only bugfixes will be applied to a release branch. So you can safely
assume that the difference between x.y.z1 and x.y.z2 is reliablity and
very unlikely performance.
