PG v16 will be in-support until November 2028, so it's not like
we are leaving RHEL 7 completely in the lurch. I doubt that the
sort of people who are still running an EOL OS are looking to put
a bleeding-edge database on it, so this seems sufficient to me.
As for notifying packagers --- Red Hat themselves will certainly
not be trying to put new major versions of anything on RHEL 7,
and Devrim has stopped packaging newer PG for RHEL 7 altogether,
so who among them is going to care?
