This does not look kosher.

I see a separate announcement for 9.5 from PGDG, which is well and
good, but this one just seems to privilege one of the PostgreSQL
companies over others that contributed significantly to PostgreSQL
9.5.

I don't see 2ndQuadrant, PostgresPro, etc., each making their own
announcements, nor would it be appropriate for them to do so.  I don't
see anything specific to EnterpriseDB in the sense of a separate
product announcement for Advanced Server, for example.

Do we have a policy on this?  Should we?

Cheers,
David.
