Postgresql 7.2 available on Enterprise ES ??

Had Postgresql 7.2 running well on Redhat 8.0. Including JDBC driver from postgres 
site. Now trialling upgrade to Redhat Enterprise ES. See that version of PGSQL there is 
only 7.1 e.g. postgresql-7.1.3-5.rhel2.1AS

Dont really want to downgrade Postgres. 7.2 is a good release with significant 
enhancements over 7.1. Only way I can see to get 7.2 is from old 8.0 channel on RHN 
(its not available on ES channel) of from old rpms we still have.

If we were to apply these RPMs, we would first remove completely 7.1 on ES.

Any reasons why this might be a bad idea ?.
Is the version of Postgresql for ES not the same as delivered by postgresql.org (e.g. 
why does the package name have '.rhel2.1AS' on the end) ?
If we install 7.2, will RHN pick it up under the ES channel (presumably not) ?.

In general terms, we were really quite surprised that ES was behind in almost *every* 
package compared to 8.0.. Why is this ?.

Lots of questions :->. Any answers genuinely appreciated.
