--- Comment #2 from Torsten Zuehlsdorff <tz at freebsd.org> ---
You're right. But sadly there is no upgrade procedure nor was there ever. All
bumps before resulting in broken server.

This won't change since after PostgreSQL 9.6. This is the first version where
girgen has managed to separate the storage-dirs of postgresql, so an update or
just a reinit are possible.

>From this viewpoint we should bump directly to PostgreSQL 9.6, since it makes
some update-ways available. But it will break other things, because the name of
the postgres user changed from "pgsql" to "postgres". 

So either option will break things on users side without any chance to avoid
this. :(
