Unfortunately, master is already using both 201907051 and 201907052 (two of
the patches I pushed touched the catalog), so we can't quite do exactly
that. We need to use 201907042 and 201907043 or something preceding 201907041
(which is the extra catversion on master).

At this point there's no perfect sequence, thanks to the extra commit on
master, so REL_12_STABLE can't be exactly "older" :-(

Barring objections, I'll go ahead with 201907042+201907043 later today,
before someone pushes another catversion-bumping patch.
