Upgrading from PostgreSQL 9.4.21 to 9.6.x unavailable in Console

Hi bryanus,

Yes, if you want to specifically upgrade to PostgreSQL 9.6 from 9.4.x, you will have to first do a major version upgrade to 9.5 and then to 9.6. However if you want to go to the latest Major versions you can do it directly based on the extensions that you are using in 9.4.x. Please look at the table on https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_UpgradeDBInstance.PostgreSQL.html#USER_UpgradeDBInstance.PostgreSQL.MajorVersion
to figure if your instance will qualify to direct upgrade to PostgreSQL 11 or 10.

Hope this helps.
