It is almost the same for the RPMs, but when we release a .0 PostgreSQL
version, it is good to have a new version of 3rd party stuff, so that
we can build and test everything at once. That is why I asked the
release soon.

They always have the option not to apply the update. The older versions
are always in the repo.

Let's leave this to users, and also to the testers. I know lots of
people who started testing 9.5 already with the RPMs, and they also
bugged me for releasing PostGIS along with PostgreSQL.

RPMs have tried to be up2date as much as possible, btw.
