Re: MySQL, you may have talked to different people than me. However, my
experience was that the people who were agitated about "competition" with
MySQL were PostgreSQL community members, not third parties. That is, there
was *vastly* more talk of MySQL at the PostgreSQL BOF than I heard in the
hallways. Probably Bruce and I just should have cut it off sooner ...
