[postgis-devel] Pg13 upgrade issues?

[rmrodriguez at carto.com]

 I think Sandro had some PR proposal to address the upgrade issue but I
think it needed some more work and review. I haven't spent any time looking
at the issue myself and right now my plate is pretty full, so on one hand
I'm inclined to ask people to upgrade to 3.0 *before* upgrading to PG13,
but on the other hand the upgrade process is painful enough to put more
spokes in the wheels.
