No, it is 1.6.3:

ftp://ftp.tr.postgresql.org/pub/PostgreSQL/pgadmin3/release/v1.6.3/fedora-core-6/wx

You may install these ones, and since this has a higher release number,
noone can install the older version (of course, one can remove these and
install fc wx packages)

Even though it is up to you, I would not do that. I *do* stick packaging
guidelines of Fedora. Also it should not matter whether you install or
not -- wx "RPM" that will go under /opt will conflict with FC "RPM".
