This branching model makes management of the code easier because
WAL-related APIs and WAL format can change a lot between major releases
(and also because in this case it would have made the code less readable
using blocks based on PG_VERSION_NUM for not that much result).

Note as well that pg_rewind is not (yet?) added in PostgreSQL core, so you
should ask directly questions here:
