Fedora 9 likewise shipped with PG 8.3.1. It's all a matter of what was
current when a particular major distro release was frozen.
Some distros are more aggressive than others about updating to new minor
PG releases, but there is no one who will auto-update you to a new major
PG release. Lack of upgrade-in-place is part of the reason; but even
if we had that, few distros would consider it because of the application
compatibility issues that new major releases typically create.
