Really... Bruce, for now and forever you may not garden, you may not 
swim, Church is a no no, and you are no longer able to teach your 
Children. You are core, you must only extend postgresql.org. Oh wait, 
but core doesn't have anything to do with the website, they aren't in 
charge of it. Core is about releases schedules and confidential 
conversation for vendors about things like security releases. Why are 
you wasting your time doing something fun and informative for the community?

Simon, there are three problems with this.

1. Bruce would problem spend all his time extending it using sh. Do you 
really want to come along behind him and maintain that?

2. Bruce can do whatever the hell he wants and he has zero 
responsibility to put his open source efforts behind .Org.

3. #2 isn't even relevant because he was extending .Org. He brought 
something fun and useful to the community.

If this is true so what? Some people within the community are listened 
to a little longer and given a little more leeway because... guess what, 
meritocracy.
