Well, yes we are at least from an external perception problem. The name 
says it all, PGDG RPMs. They are either the official PostgreSQL.Org RPMs 
or they aren't. If they aren't they shouldn't be called PGDG RPMs nor 
should they be available from yum.postgresql.org and apt.postgresql.org 
respectively.

Note: I am not advocating the removal of those packages. I am advocating 
that the core project of PostgreSQL.Org in fact does ship those packages 
and that is how people see it outside of our email silo.
