Comment (by Paul Ramsey <pramsey@…>):

 In [changeset:"2d60db735cd96d889d7e43474deb436563ec3b77/git" 2d60db7/git]:
 {{{#!CommitTicketReference repository="git"
 revision="2d60db735cd96d889d7e43474deb436563ec3b77"
 Fix ST_Length and ST_Perimeter for geography collections, closes #6076

 ST_Length(geography) on collections now only sums linear components,
 and ST_Perimeter(geography) now only sums areal components. Added
 lwgeom_perimeter_spheroid to support the separation of logic.
 Preserve legacy behaviour in ST_LengthSpheroid.
