Yes, packaging of plv8 is pretty complicated. If one decided to ship RPM
package with plv8, it would mean maintenance of whole v8 language - which
is incredibly complicated (incompatible changes all the time, backporting
security fixes, etc.).

That's the reason why plv8 (and even v8 runtime) becomes dropped from Linux
distributions.
