That is strange. Maybe that packaging team has been disbanded? It seems as
if 9.0.4 are provided with official packages in F15. Did you ask on the
mailinglist mentioned on <http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/RPM_Installation>?

Now, an older version of software in linux distribution is normally not
necessarily a sign of poor maintenance. In most big distributions the best
practise is that once a release - like F15, Ubuntu 11.04, or Debian 6.0 - is
shipped it is considered more important that the release is stable than to
include new features from upstream. So you would commonly not even see
minor patch version upgrades, 9.0.x, in a release. Instead the security and
stability fixes from 9.0.4 would be backported to whatever minor release
version was included in the release, say 9.0.2.
