Upgrade/compatibility impact
There is no compatibility impact expected. PostgreSQL extensions will need to be rebased, although, most of the packages were already tested with the PostgreSQL 12 module.
How To Test
Usual testing as per major release upgrades. Others' software tests runs well as the issues were fixed regarding the postgresql12 module.
User Experience
Users will have to upgrade their databases the same way as between major MariaDB versions. PostgreSQL 11 will be available as a module.
Dependencies
Packages depending on libpq should not require any additional work, as the library is backwards compatible. Some work will be required for PostgreSQL extension packages.
Contingency Plan
PostgreSQL12 (including libpq package) is already available in fedora as a module.
