Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Hmm.  Kernel is special-cased in all the tools.  Everything else
that has allowed you to install multiple versions has put the new
version number or some other differentiator in the name, like the
gimp-beta or gimp2 packages.  I'd say that there would be a lot
less friction following this path for PostgreSQL as well.

But as you say, that's really a topic for -devel.
