At that link, there are multiple operating systems, and multiple options. It's not clear to me if all of them are full bundles, vs normal packages with dependencies from the base system. There is Windows osgeo4w LTR and stable macOS LTR and stable Linux 7 distributions plus flatpack/spack BSD FreeBSD LTR and stable OpenBSD stable Container (hard to figure out) Are you saying that every single one of those options will use pgsql 18.4.1? I would think that the GNU/Linux (actual distributions not flat-ish) would be using what the distribution was on, and it's not up to qgis to fix that, vs installers that bundle everything (to remediate the problem of the base OS not having a high-functioning packaging system). For the BSD packaging systems pointed to, surely those are maintained by FreeBSD and OpenBSD people, just as I maintain the entries in pkgsrc (NetBSD, illumos, and many others). Thus qgis.org is not choosing pgsql versions. Or do you mean only the two Windows installers? What I'm asking is that if you are talking about two specific windows installers, to say that, to avoid people interpreting statements as applying to the N other ways one can get binary distributions, many of which have their own processes and change control. The assumption that "installing qgis" equals "installing qgis on windows" is not sound, even if it is often true.
