I can tell you that Red Hat is getting beat up regularly for having
omitted Postgres (and MySQL!) from RHEL 3. If you are a paying RHEL
customer, make sure you let them know you're not happy about it.

Upper management keep changing their mind about how exactly they want
to support these databases on RHEL --- well, okay, that's a business
decision and outside my sphere as an engineer. But in the meantime the
effective support is "none at all", and people have got to hold their
feet to the fire about it.
