I do not think we should stop advocating. I think we should be doing so
smartly. Dealing with Forester or any of the other shills is a waste of
energy. Let EDB deal with that.
We as a community should be focusing on recruiting -hackers and people
who are going to use the database. Django developers, Rails developers,
PostGIS etc... We don't have to (nor should we want to) give donkey spit
about business uptick. The oustide developers and companies surrounding
us will take care of that.
