Understood, but I think many users that use the RPM installers don't
know how to do that - or might not realize they are getting an old
version of PostgreSQL. If they follow the Yum HOWTO they end up with
something that's likely to break at some point (Alpha4)
Seems like it makes the most sense to just say those versions are
unsupported via the RPM install...currently what's out there is, IMHO,
misleading.
