I specifically recall that this was once exactly not the policy, but of
course you are free to do what you want.  (In my mind it certainly
makes technical sense to produce operating system specific packages.)

But I have two requests to clarify this situation:

1. Adjust the description of the pgfoundry project pgsqlrpms to
something like "This project aims to build PostgreSQL RPMS for Red Hat
and Fedora and maintain them."

2. When you put them on the FTP server, put them in a subdirectory
"redhat" (instead of or below "linux") to avoid that users fall into
the trap redhat == linux == rpm.
