Comment:

 +1 - yes let's not fix.

 I think the newer libpqs are already smart enough to work with older
 PostgreSQL.  So it's only an issue for those trying to use an older libpq
 with a newer postgreSQL install.  They shouldn't be doing that anyway and
 we shouldn't be encouraging it.  Even PostgreSQL for example doesn't allow
 you to backup/restore a PostgreSQL database with an older
 pg_dump/pg_restore.  I see this as much the same thing :)
