Typo I meant 2.4 in 9.6 and 9.5 2.4 will support 9.3-10
As a general rule, if we need to make a non-trivial number of changes to support a newer version of PostgreSQL in our code-base, we do not backport those changes to stable PostGIS branches.

If people install 10 in 9.6, they can then pg_upgrade to 10. I'm hesitant to support 10 in 2.3 because that would mean we have to support it for the life of 10 and I already made enough changes in 2.4 for 10 that it leaves me a bit hesitant to risk back-porting those changes to 2.3.

FWIW, the PostGIS RPMs are shipped with the .so file of X-1 major version to support upgrades, so I expect 2.3 to be compiled against 10. BTW, as the packager, I really would prefer to have an *official* alpha/beta nowadays, as we are about to release PostgreSQL 10 beta3, and did not test PostGIS RPMS yet. Thanks!
