That particular era of equipment is still quite prominent in telecom central office environments, and I know of several telcom nms solutions that use PostgreSQL. However having said that it's of little likelyhood that those are being updated to use newer versions of postgres or even wether or not they receive security/bugfixes....

One thing of the same ilk is that a few months ago I had to give up on
using https reporting on gaur/pademelon, and switch back to http.
I don't think that was your fault, because it was not associated with a
buildfarm client upgrade. It appeared to me that the pginfra folk had
changed something to require newer TLS versions in https connections to
the buildfarm server. Like Dave, I spent a fair while trying to install
new-enough Perl modules to fix that, without a lot of success: newer
Perl code doesn't compile on that platform.
It's debatable of course how much anyone cares about buildfarm animals
that are this old. I've already shut down pademelon since its compiler
never heard of C99, and I don't see much point in running it on just
the back branches.
Right - I do wonder that about this machine (whether it's worth supporting, not whether its compiler supports C99). Here's what we're talking about:
