What's the problem with that?  Seems OK to me.

Heck, there's three companies quoted in the release itself.  And I'm
quoted in a number of articles, and even if my title isn't used, it
doesn't take much of a search to lead to PGX.

In the past, we've coordinated with EDB and Heroku press releases around
release time as well.  I didn't do that this year because coordinating
with the larger companies is a lot of effort and I didn't have the
energy/time, not because it's inherently a bad idea.

If the PostgreSQL Project was a proprietary company, we'd be
coordinating major release announcements with all of our major
"partners" to have them announce support/products as well, for maximum
impact.  PR-wise, our relationship with distributors and service
companies isn't that different.
