That's a bit alarmist, slow down on the coffee. I agree that
apt.postgresql.org should work as a simple PPA but I guarantee you that
our "professional clients" are not going to switch from Ubuntu to Red
Hat/Fedora, that's ridiculous.

It will however make them wonder what .org is smoking and if they should
just stay with the latest stable release until we get our act together.
