I don't call porting Postgres to run well on something like 40% of the
world's servers (or whatever it is) "just another port".
It could conveivably double Postgres's target audience, could attract
heaps of new users, new developers, new companies and put us in a better
position to compete with MySQL.
I think it's actually a necessary port to keep the project alive in the
long term.
