I don't think this is ready for bulk testing yet. There is usually a
large amount of fallout in a PostgreSQL upgrade. At the very least, we
should run a partial bulk of the direct dependencies and make sure they
all build before requesting a full bulk. In my experience, it is many
hours of work fixing dependencies to get the ports tree ready.

It may be a good time to reassess whether some dependencies are still
needed. For example, postgresql-v8 uses a 5+ year old version that has
been patched to handle changes in PostgreSQL internals. Upstream
switched the build system a few years ago and I could not get newer
versions to build correctly when handling the PostgreSQL 10->11 update.

Thanks,
Jeremy
