Ahh yes, Certainly an offer from SUN of Japan.:-)
Then, The support was done as a volunteer with Honda-san. It seemed to be 
wonderful that the spread of PostgreSQL promoted it by Solaris.!
The resource is being offered in the place where JPUG was open to the public.
I think that SUN of Japan obtained knowhow that takes there and evades the 
problem. The support of the resource makes an effort to the utmost though we 
are volunteers. Satisfactory results proves.!
Maybe, the problem is a release speed.... However, It might be the same even 
if it puts it on official's place...
