Thank you so much for this!

How far down are you planning to go? pgBackRest currently supports 
PostgreSQL >= 8.3, though were are considering dropping 8.3/8.4 support 
soon. Maybe it's time to let 9.0 go as well, but would be good to know 
if you plan to add it.

Currently the distro versions (Debian and RHEL) we are using to test 
8.3-9.0 are all EOL, which is obviously not ideal, though we have not 
had any issues building (yet).
