Well, I'm still desperately unhappy with the concept that all it takes
to get listed on that page is a request from someone who's not even
known in the community. At the *minimum* we should have some kind of
commitment to push updates promptly (especially security ones) ...
which probably means someone from that group joining pgsql-packagers.
But what might be more to the point is that AFAICT Turnkey is a Linux
distro. We don't have links here to where you get Postgres packages for
Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Slackware, etc etc. Why should there be
one for Turnkey?
