Yes, older releases are deleted automagically.

For this one, packages you get from "PGDG"@
https://www.postgresql.org/download/ are built by postgres. RedHat, for
example, also has postgres built by them and included in the
distribution -- in RHEL7 it's v.9.2 but RedHat is known to patch code
without changing version numbers.

There are community RPMs, and then the RPMs supplied by Red Hat / CentOS  via OS or SCL.

Community packages has wider range of supported PostgreSQL versions, and wider range of packages.

Hm. Gotta wonder if running this:
https://github.com/clkao/docker-postgres-plv8/blob/master/10-2/Dockerfile
and copying plv8.so out of the resulting image is the easy way out.
