I enabled it for 10 and 11 now. With the arguably very long 11devel snapshot build version number, it now looks like this: $ psql --version psql (PostgreSQL) 11devel (Debian 11~~devel~20180119.1047-1~329.git4e54dd2.pgdg+1) $ /usr/lib/postgresql/10/bin/psql --version psql (PostgreSQL) 10.1 (Debian 10.1-3.pgdg+1) $ psql psql (11devel (Debian 11~~devel~20180119.1047-1~329.git4e54dd2.pgdg+1), Server 10.1 (Debian 10.1-3.pgdg+1)) I'll report back if I see anything exploding. The CF item is closed, thanks!
