AshPostgres uses this information when generating queries and migrations,
to choose the best available features for your version of PostgreSQL.
Please enter the version in the format major.minor.patch (e.g. 13.4.0)
Default: 16.0.0

AshPostgres uses this information when generating queries and migrations,
to choose the best available features for your version of PostgreSQL.
On this system we found a PostgreSQL with the version number 14.13
Please enter the version in the format major.minor.patch (e.g. 13.4.0)
Default: 14.13.0

This will make the live of 99% of all developers easier. And the other 1% doesn’t have any disadvantages.
