Pierre,

I presume we will have to get used to it and WKT Raster will
need to specify required version of PostGIS.

At the moment, WKT Raster is sort of a client of PostGIS
and as every client, it has to follow changes in PostGIS API (C or SQL).

If WKT Raster will become a first class citizen of PostGIS and
will be released bundled with PostGIS, then the situation may
be even "worse". I suppose we will have to catch up with every
change in PostGIS as soon as possible.

Best regards,
