Well, I still do, nominally, but RHEL-3 is in maintenance mode (meaning no more scheduled updates). It would take a fairly serious bug to get Red Hat's attention to the point that they'd want to turn the package. If something like that came up, very possibly we'd want to put out a fix too. What I'm thinking is more along the lines of not bothering with back-patching non-catastrophic bugs, and not automatically including 7.3 in the set of branches we make back-branch releases for. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match      |

BTW, we can provide community RPMs for 7.3+RHEL 3, if needed... /me will be very happy to drop 7.3 packages from his list.
