PostGIS is an extension to PostGreSQL and as such installs functions and code directly within the PostgreSQL framework rather than being an API to dialogue with the database. As such, it is somehow dependent on PostgreSQL guts. I clearly remember more than once reading in the PostGIS changelog: ‘First version to be compatible with PostgreSQL 9.x’, and it was not a major bump, like from 8.x to 9.0. That’s why I adopted a rather conservative approach.

But I’m going to upgrade at the next PostgreSQL 9.4.x sub-release.
