Oops, yes. Thank you for the correction.

We also have "8.4.x series" in the core code. Do you think we also
rewrite those messages? One of them is an use-visible message.

LargeObjectAlterOwner() : pg_largeobject.c
         * The 'lo_compat_privileges' is not checked here, because we
         * don't have any access control features in the 8.4.x series
         * or earlier release.
         * So, it is not a place we can define a compatible behavior.

guc.c
    {"lo_compat_privileges", PGC_SUSET, COMPAT_OPTIONS_PREVIOUS,
        gettext_noop("Enables backward compatibility in privilege checks on large objects"),
        gettext_noop("When turned on, privilege checks on large objects perform "
                     "with backward compatibility as 8.4.x or earlier releases.")
