Yeah. It was a good start to things back in the day, but people ran out of time/effort
to update it. :/

Andthen once a year, someone cherrypicks the best exemples to be featured on the website.

Interesting approach. That would lead to a curated list fairly decently. :)
The entries on that page at the moment are a bit old, but that’s fixable.
With these two VMware blog posts from a few months ago:
https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2016/03/getting-comfortable-with-vpostgres-and-the-vcenter-server-appliance-part-1.html
https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2016/05/getting-comfortable-with-vpostgres-and-the-vcenter-server-appliance-part-2.html
They seem like a decent fit for the page. They’re the one’s describing why VMware vCenter
is moving from Windows+(MSSQL/Oracle) to a self contained Linux+PostgreSQL appliance.
Thinking a new “Virtualisation” heading, and putting them there?
