If you mean a code fork, no. Red Hat hasn't forked any of the other
open-source projects they contribute to; why would they start with
Postgres?

It seems entirely possible that at any given time, what Red Hat is
selling as RHDB might be ahead of, behind, or different from the
latest community release of Postgres, just because of differing
release cycles, features not merged yet, or whatever. But there's
no intention to cause a fork.
