 This may be true but has nothing to do with the matter at hand.
 
 Postgres 9.0 and 9.1 are years old, they are useless.
 9.4 is currently in beta and the 9.5 development cycle has already started.
 
 I'm currently at PGCon and one of the frequent complaints I have been hearing
 about is operating system vendors continuing to ship obsolete versions.
 
 By refusing to update the default version of PostgreSQL used in ports to
 something relatively recent, you're effectively rendering FreeBSD less
 attractive as a platform.
