That pretty much summed it up.  :)

The "There is no so strong commercial support", is changing really fast
though.

LibertyRMS, the guys who manage the .info namespace with replicated
PostgreSQL servers, use the support services of a large PostgreSQL
support company and are very happy with it.  :)

PostgreSQL support companies just haven't marketed themselves widely is
all.  :-(

Regards and best wishes,
