A good question. I think one answer is the MySQL name. Many open-source
advocates seem enamored of MySQL, but you can never pin them down about
exactly what it is they love so much about it. Maybe we can rebrand
PG as "MiSQL" or something. :)
The other answer may be the license: plugging PG into the MySQL system
(which is about as technically feasible trying to breed a porpoise
and an elephant) keeps MySQL GPL, which is another reason many people
like it.
