I'm not going to name names in public, but I will point out that different
companies definitions of what constatutes 'fringe distros' are different.
For some any linux other then RedHat Enterprise or SuSE is a fringe distro
(with SuSE being a relativly recent addition, for a while RedHat were
frequently the only supported distro versions)

and please note, when I'm talking about support, it's not just postgresql
support, but also hardware/driver support that can run into these problems
