PostgreSQL has followed the current schedule of yearly major releases for about 10 year.

  That doesn't add up. I've been using PG for over 15 years and it was around before that.

    Not sure what doesn't add up? While PostgreSQL is certainly around longer than 10 years, the release schedule was somewhat random until ~10 years ago. Since then the project sticks to a yearly schedule, with one major release per year, usually in September/October.

      12 - 6, over 15 years makes me think the major should be 21. But counting minor numbers makes the cadence work as another comment states

    Before v10, even the minor version number increase was a major release (i.e. 9.1 -> 9.2).
    • edoceo 7y ago
      This interpretation makes sense to me (starting from 6)

    Before roughly 10 years ago there was no formal release schedule but in practice it was roughly every 1 to 1.5 years, so people decided to formalize the process and do strictly yearly releases.
