I note that pgloader is in the yum repo for Postgresql 9.2 on Centos 6,
but not 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, wondering if there's a reason it was dropped?

If I where to hazard a guess it would have to do with pgloader migrating from being written in Python to being written in Common Lisp, that occurred at roughly the same time.

While I could get the common lisp version working on my systems, I don't want to have to support it in our overseas factories where we need this functionality, so I'm trying to make a go of using the older v2, written in Python,   as introducing a completely new language for a single tool in our production operations stack is untenable.

However, I can't seem to find any traces of the documentation for the python version other than the man page.
