Officially support PostgreSQL 10 and 11
I lately see a lot of people struggle with installing PostgreSQL 9.6. I think we should make it easier for people to use the system-installed PG, whatever version that is (but >=9.6).
The 17.0 major release is coming on May 16, 2024! This version brings many exciting improvements to GitLab, but also removes some deprecated features. We are introducing three breaking change windows during which we expect breaking changes to be deployed to GitLab.com. You can read more about it on our blogpost. The first breaking change window begins 2024-04-22 09:00UTC and ends 2024-04-24 22:00UTC.
