+1 for v14 as this version is still around for two years.

Even getting that down to v13 would be OK for me at this stage, as,
assuming that something is messed up for a reason or another, we would
still have one year to address any issue that could pop up on
REL_13_STABLE.

Now, the conflicts that exist between v14 and v13 in pgarch.[c|h] are
really risky due to the design changes done in d75288fb27b8, so it is
much better to leave v13 out of scope..
