I am seeing an increasing number of bug/problem reports on obsolete
Postgres versions, either not running a superseded minor version, or
running an unsupported major version.
What can we do to reduce such reports, or at least give a consistent
response? It is very helpful that we have this web page, and I have
made a habit of pointing reporters to that page since it has all the
information they need:
https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/
This web page should correct the idea that "upgrades are more risky than
staying with existing versions". Is there more we can do? Should we
have a more consistent response for such reporters?
It would be a crazy idea to report something in the logs if a major
version is run after a certain date, since we know the date when major
versions will become unsupported.
