It's not so much that we have a "policy" as that we have a finite number of committers with finite time. If any committer wants to go and fix this trivial typo in a back branch, no one will say boo. But I doubt any of us will take the time either. There are a lot of typos besides this one, and always have been. Personally I'd rather spend the time proofing current docs. regards, tom lane
