Yeah. But there's still something to Jonathan's argument, because 9.6
will go EOL in November 2021, which is pretty close to when v14 will
reach public release (assuming we can hold to the typical schedule).
If we do it in v13, there'll be a full year where still-supported
versions of PG can't do SCRAM, implying that clients would likely
fail to connect to an up-to-date server.
