Based upon feedback so far, I'm incline to suggest that we include
PostGIS 2.0 on OSGeo-Live (and no prior versions).
It seems like there will be a couple of projects which might need to
make some tweaks to their applications, something that would be in the
pipeline for these applications' development paths already.
So I propose:
1. We discuss this at our weekly meeting tomorrow:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingdetails.html?year=2012&month=11&day=22&hour=19&min=30&sec=0&p1=179&p2=224&p3=240&p4=215&p5=136&p6=240
2. Assuming all agree, test installing PostGIS 2.0 only for the next few
OSGeo-Live builds. If a showstopper issue is found, then roll back to
1.5.2-2.
Our key criteria is that all quickstarts work, and applications which
can connect to a Postgis data source have been tested to see if they can
still do so, at least for a simple case.

GeoServer tries to support old versions of PostGIS and newer ones,
long story short we need to check the version to support both.
The issue being that PostGIS 1.2 did no have some of the ST_<name>
functions, but only had <name>, and PostGIS 2.0 only has
the ST_ ones
Just to clarify, recent versions of GeoServer do support PostGIS 2.0.
The above was just an explaination about how GeoServer supports
PostGIS versions between 1.2 and 2.0 by recognizing
the version of the DB it's hooked against, and issuing the right SQL
accordingly
my understanding of this email is that support for PostGIS 2.0 is
done in the current released GeoServer
