Comment (by komzpa):

 I don't use raster much, maybe once or twice in my life. It goes packaged
 and dragged into Docker containers that could have been much smaller if
 they wouldn't depend on raster. Raster drags in GDAL, and GDAL drags in
 lots of different things.

 It's possible to build --without-raster, so it's not a complete
 showstopper, it just requires manual labour. With raster being split out,
 it's possible to have say two debian packages, one with "geometry" postgis
 and one with "postgis_raster", that will drag in different amount of
 dependencies.
