What's the number of unique posters to pgsql-bugs and pgsql-hackers since
beta started?   Can anyone get me that number?

Too technical.  And we don't want to imply that we *don't* have table
partitioning; we have it as much as MySQL or Ingres has.   Basically this
blurb is a careful balance between saying "We have Table Partitioning!"
and overhyping the feature.

Can you draft a short (4-6 line) paragraph for inclusion in the web-based
presskit (NOT the release)?   WITHOUT saying anything bad about the GPL?
