I think that would get very confusing.  Better to just not have script fixes
at all in micros.

Most people I know only do dump n restore for testing against their
production systems.

So when upgrading most people I know are either doing a pg_upgrade (if they
have many databases or a largish database) or an in-place upgrade.  Neither
group would get the fix.

The other reason I'm fine with skipping micro fixes is a large group of
people are under the impression they don't need to run any function or
extension upgrade step after.
