RH won't support a newer (or older) major version of PostgreSQL which is
not included in RHEL 2.1. This is Red Hat's policy -- they do not update
to new major release in a distribution. I mean, (AFAIR) RHEL 2.1 ships
with PostgreSQL 7.3 and they won't support a newer major version.

However, I agree with you, if the support is the primary concern, there
are some support options around.
