Open Stack

Folks

Let me add my 2c here.

I am for using Postgres 9.3. Here is an additional argument to the ones
provided by Artem, Aleksandra and others.

Fuel is being sometimes highly customized by our users for their specific
needs. It has been Postgres 9.3 for a while and they might have as well
gotten used to it and assumed by default that this would not change. So
some of their respective features they are developing for their own sake
may depend on Postgres 9.3 and we will never be able to tell the fraction
of such use cases. Moreover, downgrading DBMS version of Fuel should be
inevitably considered as a 'deprecation' of some features our software
suite is providing to our users. This actually means that we MUST provide
our users with a warning and deprecation period to allow them to adjust to
these changes. Obviously, accidental change of Postgres version does not
follow such a policy in any way. So I see no other ways except for getting
back to Postgres 9.3.
