Well, frankly "those guys" are unlikely to adopt PG anyway, since they'll just
move on to the next item in their "buzzword checklist", like "XML queries" or
some such flavor-of-the-month. We've done a lot to clear up the issue of
replicaiton support:

Basically, if someone is still bouncing us because we "don't have replication
support" then it's because they were looking for an excuse.

Which is really, really cool.
