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
