IMHO 'proprietary' is not the only key... probably instead using
'high-end' or a better synonym which stress out PostgreSQL's ability to
compete with Oracle & Co. and to replace them in a growing number of
production environments?

I aggree with Harald that the cutting edge features should be mentioned
after the buzz-word-compliant features.

It would be fine, if we could give some figures or a number to underlay
the performance message, although figures are relative.
