I fully agree losing GDAL would be a HUGE step backwards.
Let's not forget that GDAL has lots of rich vector support in it that we may
want to leverage especially in 3.0.
The only reason I propose this is for the few folks having problems compiling
with GDAL or those who compile their own PostGIS
Losing GDAL would be a step backwards, IMO, but I suppose we've gotten
this far. I've just been hoping to make the SRS handling more magic by

Hello Regina,
We do have cases where we do not need raster at all (>90% of our users),
and must compile everything from scratch (~10% of our users). We would
be pleased to not having to compile GDAL in this case.
And it would be great to still use the CREATE EXTENSION mechanism to
install Postgis,
It would be great to be able to use the PostgreSQL extension
mechanism without having PostGIS raster support enabled.
When upgrading PostgreSQL from 9.1 to 9.5 to test pointcloud,
building PostGIS 2.2 with raster support failed on our Debian
wheezy server due to a JPEG library issue.

I for one have never used the raster functionality. I occasionally think
about doing this or that with it, but have never gotten around to it. I
also run Ubuntu 14.04 which has great support for the whole thing.
I like the idea of breaking postgis into multiple packages because:

How many folks are unable to compile postgis with raster or have a package that
has no raster support and who REALLY REALLY want to be able to install postgis
with:
CREATE EXTENSION postgis;
