I am wondering: does anything in the PG 13 change preclude writing
a postgis_raster--unpackaged.sql script that could be applied with
CREATE EXTENSION postgis_raster VERSION unpackaged;
and would do perhaps nothing at all, or merely confirm that the
right unpackaged things are present and are the right things...
... from which an ALTER EXTENSION postgis_raster UPDATE TO 3.0;
would naturally run the existing postgis_raster--unpackaged--3.0.sql
and execute all of its existing ALTER EXTENSION ... ADD operations?
Has the disadvantage of being goofy, but possibly the advantage of
being implementable in the current state of affairs.
