well, i'm not now, but if they want me to become a paying RHEL customer they better make me feel secure that there is going to be some support for postgresql on those platforms, even if it's just a statement that they'll give "Lamar & Company" free access to the flavors of RHEL to do community rpm building. Personally I don't find any of their current RHEL offerings that enticing given that the extent of my support needs over the last year or so involved downloading maybe two kernel patches and an ssh patch, but I've got a number of Red Hat 7.3 servers I'll eventually have to transition to *something* sooner or later...
