PG Major upgrade exit when there's pending maintenance updates

[runwuf]

What happened?

PG allows major version upgrade with

  pg_user_config {
    pg_version = 16
  }

However, if there are pending maintenance updates, terraform would exit without performing the upgrade.

If there's no maintenance updates, upgrade performed successfully

resource "aiven_pg" "pg" {
  ~ resource "aiven_pg" "pg" {
        id                      = "felixwu-demo/cdc-pg"
        # (20 unchanged attributes hidden)

      ~ pg_user_config {
          ~ pg_version                = "15" -> "16"
            # (12 unchanged attributes hidden)

            # (2 unchanged blocks hidden)
        }

        # (1 unchanged block hidden)
    }

Plan: 0 to add, 1 to change, 0 to destroy.

When attempting downgrade, it exits

Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution plan. Resource actions are
indicated with the following symbols:
  ~ update in-place

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # aiven_pg.pg will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "aiven_pg" "pg" {
        id                      = "felixwu-demo/cdc-pg"
        # (20 unchanged attributes hidden)

      ~ pg_user_config {
          ~ pg_version                = "16" -> "15"
            # (12 unchanged attributes hidden)

            # (2 unchanged blocks hidden)
        }

        # (1 unchanged block hidden)
    }

What did you expect to happen?

Consistent behaviour - if PG major version upgrade is allowed in terraform provider, it should proceed regardless if there's maintenance updates or not, it should not exit if there are maintenance updates. Or it should stop allowing to both upgrade and downgrade.

What else do we need to know?

Not sure how best to address maintenance updates & maintenance window restrictions.
