No he does not.

I believe leaving the "expert" opinions to the "experts" is a good 
argument. I also believe that anyone on this list has a right to express 
their opinion and make it known.

However, as a group of which I am a part of, I do not believe we 
(PostgreSQL.Org) should be endorsing anything but the core project.

I for example, will endorse PL/Java. Not because of anything to do with 
Dave but because of the research I have done to date, PL/Java is more 
mature.

I also currently endorse Slony-I for 8.1 installations but that is only 
because we don't have a 8.1 release yet (4 weeks W00t!).

I on the other hand, do not endorse Perl or anything to do with Perl :)

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
