Heh Heh Heh. Yeah, that's how most people seem to do it, even on non-docker systems. ;)

Works well for a few years as PG is super stable. But we tend to see people when they've run their systems longer than that and it's gotten to the point of their PG install is end of life (or similar circumstance), so they're looking at their upgrade options.

The pgautoupgrade approach is one potential way to fix that, and (in theory) should mean that once they're using it they don't have to worry about major version upgrades ever again (in a positive way).
