Technically, this is exactly what pg_upgrade does. I think what you
really mean is for the backend binary to be able to read the system
tables and WAL files of the old clusters --- something I can't see us
implementing anytime soon.
For the most part, pg_upgrade is good enough. There are exceptions and
it does need a more thorough test suite but as a whole, it works. As
nice as being able to install 9.6 right on top of 9.5 and have 9.6
magically work, it is certainly not a *requirement* anymore.
