Postgres-XC isn't PostgreSQL. Entirely different product.

I think "entirely different product" is not really accurate. It isn't just
a fork, but a closely related one, which continues to work closely with the
community. That's different from Greenplum these days. At any rate it is
far less an "entirely different product" than Illustra was, or EDB's
Postgres Plus, or countless others.

Why should a user care? Because it means that there is better
compatibility than there would be for a typical fork. It is still a much
more complex product, and for a much more complex niche. However there
will be areas where they are not the same, particularly when it comes to
performance.
