My personal problem (I have to rebuild GDAL locally since I need support some non-FOSS formats) is that postgresql-devel conflicts with postgresql84-devel and I need the latter one for a other dependencies. Not a big issue, since it takes a fraction of a second to change that BuildRequires locally.
I do not know, if there are drawbacks using postgresql-devel, in particular I do not know if the on-the-wire format changed from PostgreSQL 8.1 to PostgreSQL 8.4 and if those hypothetical changes do have any practical impact.

This is ok for me.
I suggest that we notify on the list that we will change this in order to leave a chance to somebody to comment on a possible impact.
Too bad that you need to rebuild locally.
Maybe we should set up a non-free repo for such stuff? (assuming it is redistributable)
The problem is always that I don't want to loose sleep thinking on what is my (legal) responsibility in distributing non-free stuff...

Good idea, I'll do that.

That's not a problem at all. Having ease to rebuild src.rpm really helped me a lot here and I can live with that.

Personally, I would not take the risk. All we can do is to keep the src.rpm in shape, so that adding one format reduces to --enable-xyz. Or we could adopt Remi's approach, like in https://github.com/remicollet/remirepo/blob/master/php/php.spec, around line 32.

Could you please detail a bit more why it would be required?
It did not cause any problem so far, and I was expecting that there was a way to stay compatible with both.
If this is not the case, I have no pb with changing it since all users are probably using postgresql because of postgis which requires postgresql84 anyhow.
