Hi Loïc,
thanks for your efforts. I really like the idea of the suggested framework.
In our ports tree, we have PostgreSQL versions from 9.3 upwards. The
support matrix of PostgreSQL and PostGIS versions [1] shows, that
PostGIS 2.1 and 2.2 are obsolete now and can be deprecated.
PostGIS 2.4 seems to be the version with support for all PostgreSQL
version in our tree.
HTH,
Rainer
