Hello,

I left process as described in previous message.

That's after people on irc confirmed that using libpq across versions is fine,
and realizing that libpq is just a client to talk to server, and doesn't
implement other server functionality.

Void Linux, a binary distribution. Packages are rebuild here only on shlib changes, not after every dependency update, in trust to library developers keeping compatibility otherwise, so far with good outcome.
Switching versions is not yet enabled for postgres, but planned on next update.

Thanks for tips!
