Describe the issue

The 9.6 stream branch of the postgresql module is inactive, probably because it's past its EOL date which was set to 2018-12-01 when it was created. The maintainer of the module @praiskup reported this to the Modularity Tracker.

Two possible remedies come to mind:

• Manually set the bug_fixes (and security_fixes?) EOL date for the modules/postgresql:9.6 branch to 2021-12-01, corresponding with the upstream EOL date of 2021-11-11.
• Or, ignore the SL metadata when determining which branch is active (background, #2). This probably involves changes in code/scripts.

When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

I assume the sooner the better. @praiskup?

When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

End of 2021 when 9.6 maintenance ceases upstream.

If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

The 9.6 stream can't be updated.
