No but we can't be guaranteed that just because someone upgrades their 2.1.8
to 2.1.9 when they already have 2.2.0 installed they expect to get 2.1.9
(not their same old 2.2.0 )
And if they happened to have one version of PostGIS on PostgreSQL 9.3 and
another on 9.4  etc. and have both -- well all theoretical to you, but very
REAL issues to me.

Bas, I'm getting a little tired of this too.   I think we just got to
include the liblwgeom version in  our postgis_full_version() output to catch
when people complain about these issues.


Debian seems to expect that having multiple PostGIS/PostgreSQL versions is a
theoretical only scenario where as in Windows and I think possibly other
distributions, it's a very real common occurrence.
