I agree about the too invasive bugs only being fixed in next minor, but
this is likely not the case of the 27 currently listed bugfix items:
https://github.com/postgis/postgis/blob/svn-trunk/NEWS#L64-L96

Compare with the 2.1 ones:
https://github.com/postgis/postgis/blob/svn-2.1/NEWS#L13-L20

+1 on having an official policy
