I would have thought so, yes. However, not until 6.3 is released. Until
then, the files can change often.

Remember, were in beta. If we changed it before release, then we would get
questions like "Why does PG_VERSION show 6.3.9 when I'm running 6.3?"

I think the only time this should change is between public
releases/subreleases.
