You likely want to keep this release terse, but as far as this new
feature, you may wish to consider snipping a bit from the example at

http://code.google.com/soc/pgsql/appinfo.html?csaid=34B13296DE039A78

"PostgreSQL is privileged to lead .... blablabla  An example of its
power.... blabbla".

Pretty big feature and a small sample could drive home that importance
to those who suspect an algorithm to be a new dance step.
