What do you think of the idea of syncing versions in general, and this

The example of PostgreSQL isn't really good because people have been
asking for change in default for probably two years now. I have no clue
as to why it hasn't changed but people do not want 9.0 as the default.
BTW, DPorts has had postgresql 9.2 as the default for 15 months now,
everything is fine, so there is no reason that I know of why FreeBSD
isn't at least at 9.2.
As for syncing with Linux -- I personally don't like the idea. The
defaults should be picked deliberately, not because _____ Linux is at
whatever version.
I tend to agree with John on both points.
Changing default software versions to be in line with whatever the Linux
distribution of the week is doing is futile.
He was talking about LTS (long term stability branches) not "flavor of
the week".
Changing default software versions to something reasonably stable and recent
makes sense.
Concerning Postgres, 9.3 is the latest stable version, brings JSON support
to the table and doesn't need SYSV shared memory sysctl tuning anymore.
Making it the new default is the logical choice.
Except that the pressure on the vm is much worse than using sysvshm.
