Re: PostgreSQL as possible addon ?

Hi,

I would oppose PostgreSQL as an add-on.

There are two major reasons for this:

* Nobody has ever requested it. At least I am not aware of it. We do not have any applications that require it or would run better if PostgreSQL was there. Since we already have loads of add-ons that are barely used and barely maintained I would like to avoid adding another.

* Based on that last note, I would say that we also have enough places to do work on that constantly get stuck. Instead of opening another construction site, I would like to at least have one or more closed - or at least declare that we do not intend to work on this any more.

Best,
-Michael
