Hmmm ... hopefully you're not referring to the quote here. My goal is
actually to quote (at least) two new companies with each major release; last
time we did Inquent, Afilias, and Pisgah; this time we'll be doing Fujitsu
and Hyperic; next time, I expect probably SRA and someone else. These
quotes serve a strategic purpose, both to show that postgreSQL *does* have
major commercial adoption, and to emphasize the new features.

Fortunately, we are accustomed to being a multi-company project, and have a
lot of practice at it.

Yeah, we need to organize this on the web page. Do you have time?
