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 [1] https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostgreSQLPostGIS
