It seems like there should be some way to mark a feature-release of an extension, versus a server-compatibility-only release (also versus a bug-fix-in-extension release).
The problem is worse than that: the 'version' string for an extension is just that: a dumb string. So you can't even do intelligent > comparisons, unless you're really careful with how you define your string. If we had semantic versions you could at least mark bug releases without blowing things up.
I don't see any great way to handle comparability other than to have different extension names. I don't really see it as a problem though... normally when something adds compatability with a new environment it's done as part of a version release.
What might be interesting would be allowing the control file to specify what PG versions are supported.
