Hi Michael,
haven=C2=B4t seen your request...

Some arguments from my side:
- Since we dropped MySQL cause no one maintained it appropriately
(which was also a kind of overkill) i thought it might be nice to have
a substitute which is, in my opinion, easier to update but also some
implementations has been changed here (nothing in /srv and wider spread
in the system but now all in /var) and of course i think PostgreSQL is
also the nicer one.
- I also really like some helper tools like pgsql (also to have for
MySQL) for the not so affine SQL users but that=C2=B4s only a beside one.
- Another one is, have seen some requests for a non Sqlite DB from
users in the forum where it thought i can make a try for their favorits
which was PostgreSQL clearly before MySQL.
- If someone uses IPFire also in a kind of server environment which i
do, PostgreSQL can be a nice one to have.

But again, i=C2=B4 am totaly fine with your arguments and of course i can
nevertheless use it for myself.

Best,

Erik
