Actually, proposal (A) does provide such a separation: notice that the
projects would go under *.postgresql.net, with the core database remaining
at *.postgresql.org.  I am not sure if that will provoke confusion or
not, but I think I like it better than pgfoundry because it is clear
that the domains are related.  pgfoundry seems a bit, um, random.
