I think this may be an area where the US and Europe are a bit different.
While I don't get the above quote, I do constantly get requests for
references around "who else is using it" because nobody over here wants to be
a maverick.  In fact, I fielded just two such today ... and one of them from
a company which already has experience with PostgreSQL!

So I think some balance is called for in the press release.
