- Enhancing the user base presumably should make it easier to find
additional staff with PostgreSQL skills.  That's not of infinite
value, but it's not of non-zero value.

- Wider spread usage should allow us to more readily find more third
party apps running atop PostgreSQL.  (There is, of course, a certain
risk that if PostgreSQL got "too hot," you'd see a lot more Really
Cruddy apps running atop it...  That's part of the burden that Certain
Other Databases deal with...)
