Comment:

 We have no contol over what packagers do. I think most no longer remove
 old releases cause then it would be difficult for people to pg_upgrade
 from say 2.5 to 3 or 3.1. Note that in the case of pg_upgrade, which many
 people use these days, both a 2.5 and 3. lib file must exist in the PG12
 if you are say upgrading from PG11 to PG12.

 I'll test on windows to make sure it's not an issue there, but I doubt it
 is because at least as far as windows is concerned I statically include
 liblwgeom in PostGIS 2.5, 2.4 with one of the reasons being for this kind
 of thing.  Around 3.0/3.1 I we made this the official thing by not
 exporting liblwgeom anymore.  Before debian would have a patch to undo
 this and then we saw these kinds of issues with liblwgeom from a previous
 release latching on to a newer PostGIS.
