This reasoning just doesn't fly in the PostgreSQL world. PostgreSQL is 
designed to be extensible, not a monolithic product. We're not going to 
change that because some companies have insane corporate policies.  The 
answer, as Jefferson said in another context, is to "inform their 
ignorance."

That isn't to say that there isn't a case for an in core scheduler, but 
this at least isn't a good reason for it.
