The real problem here is that major version bump (signifying an
incompatible API change) is something that must NOT be done in an
automated, mindless-checklist way. We should have executed the bump
when we agreed to change PQnotifies' API incompatibly. We screwed up
on that. I think it's correct to fix the error for 7.3.1 --- but we
cannot improve on the situation by making some procedural change to
"always do X at point Y in the release cycle". Sometimes there's
no substitute for actual thinking :-(
