That's what I was thinking as well. Wouldn't the majority of the bugs not also have existed in Postgres 18? The version that everyone is using atm...
There is a similar thing with AI detecting vulnerabilities. It's not that the vulnerability isn't real, but just that in most cases for these vulnerabilities to exist there also needs to be a very specific set of circumstances as well making the likelihood of the vulnerability to exist in the wild quite low.
