No, I don't think I agree. It does not need to be "Commercial" as it is
similar to Apache Jacarta too.
If you are going to do a complex project with PostgreSQL, you sort of have
a lot of construction ahead of you. Yea, it is a great SQL engine, but to
build a high speed web site, or virtually any complex project, you will
need a lot of add-ons. Rather than have everyone duplate the effort of
finding the extensions, why not have a project with all this stuff
installed. AFAIK, and correct me if I'm wrong, having functions installed
doesn't affect performance.
