I am pretty sure they will never upgrade RHEL5 to the 8.2 series because they do not do it to get new features.
That's correct.
I do know that if I try to use .rpms from other sources, I can get in a lot of trouble with incompatible libraries. And I cannot upgrade the libraries without damaging other programs.
You're also right that this is tricky. I've written a guide that goes over the main issues involved at http://www.westnet.com/~gsmith/content/postgresql/pgrpm.htm if you ever wanted to explore this as an option.
