It would indicate another platform that supports and ships PostgreSQL
by default.

I was not aware of http://yum.postgresql.org/ - I agree it would make
sense to add OL there, too. If you want to shorten the list, how about
condensing the various entries on there as follows - instead of one
bullet point per distribution, consolidate them into a single bullet
per major version:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Scientific Linux 6 ---> Red Hat Enterprise Linux
6 and derivatives (e.g. CentOS, Oracle Linux, Scientific Linux)
CentOS 6
