I actually think we are talking past each other. I know how distros
work, all to well frankly. Our repos would be unofficial in the Redhat
eye. My point is, the Red Hat eye is irrelevant for a project like this.
Those who are going to confine themselves to that ideal are a lost cause
(for this project). They will run ancient versions of PostgreSQL and
that's cool because they feel they can trust it.
On the other hand, those who need 8.3 (on RHEL4 for example) can get it,
now -- without breaking compatibility and with RPM.
