 The userbase, expectations and threads like this speak a clear message
that postgresql actually _is_ pretty unique here indeed. And it seems to
me that (a lot?) of companies/organizations seem to depend on the
voluntary efforts of a few and aren't willing or able to see that they
are already doing their best effort (some even more), without
sacrifising too much of their own life for no real gain (granted, in
their own view).

 Just something to think about,
