Positioning is all about making people consider what you do useful, no? What's useful in the
eyes of the producer is not always in alignment with the general perception of a potential
user-base. IMO, The PostgreSQL core team should be more humble to that fact. After all, you
do want your product to gain ground right? Why else are you doing this?
