I think the general public would care if we make press releases about
features that don't end up happening.  Plus, this could become a very
popular method for companies to get free advertisement: claim you will
sponsor X, get someone to make a PostgreSQL press release about it, and
later, well, the X gets kind of lost somewhere.
