Comment 11 for bug 1505286

Having said what I said in my previous comment, I want to add a more nuanced answer.

While I am still not opposed to making 9.2+ a requirement for 2.10, I think we should consider supporting PostgreSQL 9.1 for one more release. The reasons are as follows:

Ubuntu 12.04 ships with 9.1 by default. Ubuntu 12.04 is officially supported by Canonical and the Ubuntu community through April 2017, according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

According to https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/, Debian Wheezy is supported through May of 2018. It shipped with PostgreSQL 9.1 as the default, also.

Finally, http://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/ indicates that PostgreSQL 9.1' s end of life is schedule for September 2016.

Being conservative about it, I would say that we can easily make an argument that we will drop support for Pg 9.1 in September when the PostgreSQL community no longer supports it.

If the consensus is to stay with 9.1, I'd be more than willing to make the simple changes suggested by Mike in comment #9. If the consensus is to drop 9.1 support for 2.10, I'm also happy to go along with that decision.
