The support of VS 2015 being back-patched down to 9.5 is intentional, as the ideawhen integrating a new integration with visual studio is to patch HEAD plus the latest major version already released, at least that's the move respected for the last couple of years. Now I think that you are right: we should have this patch present as well in REL9_5_STABLE in order to be able to get the combination REL9_5_STABLE/VS2015 working correctly. At least we have made efforts to claim support of VS2015 down to 9.5, so I would suggest to cherry-pick it and make the solution complete. The discussion about _timezone and _tzdata is here by the way: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAB7nPqTEkqF7E7nWcdQSvyOUAV3OGjX%3DrKSxFTkk03TOJGF5ng%40mail.gmail.com There is dory in the buildfarm which compiles using VS 2015, but it runs only 9.6 and newer versions.
