Doubtful. ALthough EDB has shown a willingness to be very attentive,
their PR firm is obviously clueless when it comes to the salient issues
and frankly, it is EDBs responsibility to insure the QA.

Regardless, this is just once again marketing speak and we shouldn't
really concern ourselves with it as long as they are not dissing the
