I object strongly. I believe we should give information up front to help users choose.

And just last week ago, you suggested the same in your last proposed update.

Hello,

Attached is a first draft patch that I believe, fixes the issues here.

1. Marketing is removed. We are not here to market vendor products.

2. Message is universal and applies to every vendor (and community projects)

3. Keeps the spirit of design and organization of the current download pages

4. Adds Postgres Pro for Windows

This is a draft patch, I have no doubt it needs a work but at least we now have something that is agnostic.

The fact is, we can not and should not explicitly delineate between the feature sets of various vendors. Let them do that on THEIR pages, not ours. If we continue down this path, in no time we are going to have a dozen different vendors on these pages, offering what is essentially the same thing.

Sincerely,

JD
