Well, basically this happens at core's discretion, and we all feel that
waiting a bit more will minimize work. If there were a lot of people
chomping at the bit to start committing 8.4-only stuff, maybe we'd
decide differently. But right now what's on my radar screen is still
8.3 bugs, eg the open patch for bug #3921, and we're expecting a few
more new reports as soon as 8.3.0 spreads.
As best I recall, the immediate branch after 8.2 was the exception not
the rule --- we've usually waited longer than that.
regards, tom lane
