created its own issues. Now I admit, the issue can be with the team and not
with Posgre.

Anyway, if it was the licencing which dictated this choice, there is a quote
from Linus Torvalds which I wish many in the Mallu FSF community would read
and think over, esp. regarding some of their fundamentalisms.

*... good code simply doesn't care about ideology, and ideology often does
the wrong technical decisions because it's not about practical issues.

The watch-word in Linux development has been "pragmatism". That's probably
part of what drives the FSF wild about Linux in the first place. I care
about _practical_ issues, not about wild goose chases.

Asking for things that are perfect "in theory" usually just results in
things that are horrible "in practice".
