I bet it does have something to do with that. I had to migrate one of our
Postgres server from Fedora Core 24/Postgres 9.5 to CentOS 7/Postgres 9.6.
I'm new to Postgres and was playing around with different methods and
settled on using pglogical. I refined (that's being generous) the
migration process and migrated DEV and then PROD. Perhaps I should have had
our SA re-do the VMs after the refinements, but before doing the final
migrations, to make sure everything was apples-to-apples.

Thanks!
