Heck, I pay ~400/year for BSD/OS support on my home machine because when
I have a complex problem, I need someone to concentrate on getting it
solved, so commerical support isn't just for finger-pointing.

The $400/year has been worth it for me so I suspect there are PostgreSQL
users that need such support too.
