Split PostGIS variants into separate ports

Description
Since the base PostgreSQL ports are separate and can be run alongside one another, it would be helpful if the PostGIS port, or any port relying on PostgreSQL, were port-based instead of variant-based. I sometimes have to run multiple versions of PostgreSQL, but I don't think I can easily run multiple versions of PostGIS since you'd need to install the PostGIS port multiple times, each with a different variant, and multiple variants can't be enabled concurrently.
It would be helpful if there were multiple PostGIS ports, i.e. postgis90, postgis91, etc., allowing for separate PostGIS installs for each PostgreSQL install.

I would opt for this to be an defect, because you cannot run an pg_upgrade when using the postgis extension. It needs to be enabled in both database versions and you can't have it active in both databases at the same time because of the port restriction.
Current workaround is:
- have postgis enabled in the old db
- backup the db
- drop the db
- disable postgis extension for the old db
- active postgis port for new db
- restore backup
