I wasn't responding to you, just to the seemingly closed-mindedness of
the original question/statement. We're all aware of the reasons, for

Certainly, but can one expect to get a realistic answer to an, "is
Oracle fearing something" question on he PostgreSQL list? Or was it
just a backhanded attempt at pushing the topic again? My vote is for
the latter; it served no purpose other than to push the
competitiveness topic again.
