 Replying to [comment:4 robe]:

 needed to experience a full PostGIS experience because they didn't know
 using the minimal versions of things would give you a half-assed PostGIS
 experience.

 I think this is the key thing for me, especially that the end-user would
 never get to see the compile-time warning anyway. All they would know is
 that compared to someone else's installation, their version of PostGIS
 throws errors when trying to run the same query and so they will give up
 and look for something else.
