It means the library maintainer has to keep up with changes to the internal protocol, which although published, the Postgres group doesn't have to maintain compatibility from version to version.
Not that it matters, but client-server protocol is actually the most stable one, it hasn't changed since Postgress 7.4 (Release date: 2003-11-17). It's the language-level abstractions like libpq that keep being changed\updated on almost each release.
