Hi Gary
I use Postgres and extensions for all Applications I develop
professionally and privately.
We use mostly 12 and upwards 13 being the standard and I am waiting for
14 to hit. The last Bugfix release for 9.5 was on 2021-02-11 so quite
recently.
I would love to have 13 and modern 12 packaged, especially as we have a
build server for them sponsored by the Oi community. So we know it
builds even on current develop.
My preference for the record is to have 13, 12 and 11. Older ones should
only be used for people still needing them. AWS only offers those in
their offerings as well, so not many people will want 10 or older.

OI currently has postgresql versions: 95 96 10 11 12 . The OI
default, in shared-macros.mk, is 95 . However, the postgresql
developers report that 95 is unsupported, but 13 is available and
supported. Something has to change in OI to move forward with
postgresql.
Here are some actions that could be taken with OI. We could change
the default version to 10. I, myself, would prefer 11. We could
obsolete 95. I'd prefer obsoleting 95 and 96. We could add version
13, but only after 96 is obsoleted. We should limit the number of
postgresql versions in OI, after all. Finally, we could make no
obsoletions or additions, retaining even the unsupported 95. Which
would you prefer?
I have not investigated two questions. Perhaps you can tell me? What
are the consequences of obsoleting 95? What are the consequences of
the default change?
