This is actually an enhancement request, not a bug report.

It would be beneficial to be able to run multiple Postgres versions in parallel
(see for example https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/pgupgrade.html).
Therefore, would it be possible to change all the Postgres ports to install
into their separate directories, e.g., /usr/local/postgresql10,
/usr/local/postgresql96, etc.? Similar to how openjdk{6,7,8} does it. Plus
create a wrapper/switcher script, also similar to openjdk.
