Comment (by robe):

 To your comment about better

 1) JSONB is only supported on PostgreSQL 9.4+ and JSON only on PostgreSQL
 9.3+, and everything in PostGIS 2.3 has to support 9.2+, so that's out of
 the question

 2) Having a separate extension was discussed, and that would probably be
 the approach we take with a future geocoder, but that itself may add more
 dependencies and we need something that can work on all platforms.


 Before there was a linux shell script that people could use to do this and
 I thing others have created similar projects to load the data.  I didn't
 care for any of them because they didn't work on windows without a lot of
 effort and the mindset was always been "Screw windows users, they should
 be using Linux", which has always annoyed me about open source folks in
 general.  Now I'll stop before I rant too much.
