Dave, that isn't true. In the last six months that page has become a
much more clearly defined portal for software "not" postgresql.org. Yes
we have always "supported" our partners/sponsors/tertiary projects but
never has it been so clearly in your face.

Now I am not saying we should change it (basically because I don't have
a better answer) but I do think it is important to recognize, publicly
the pandering to others we are starting to do.
