I'm not on the PSC either, and Debian has GEOS 3.5.0 in unstable too,
but I do not support this motion.

Requiring a GEOS version that is only available in the most recent (in
development) distributions makes it unsuitable for backports and older
releases, and distributions that haven't updated to GEOS 3.5.0 yet.

You should support what you can with GEOS 3.4 which has the widest
adoption among distributions, and enable the new GEOS 3.5 features where
it's available.

Kind Regards,

Bas
