Pretty much. It's normal for a pre-launch company to contact a couple of key
Core members but insist on secrecy until they're public. In the US, it's
the law (SOX). The only companies who have launched PostgreSQL-related
offerings in the last 3 years which have been a surprise were Metapa and
Netezza (and both companies have friendly relationships with us now, alougth
only Metapa/GreenPlum has contributed to date).
Obviously, though, I should have followed up here with commentary about
EnterpriseDB after they launched. Sorry, I've been pulled in a lot of
different directions lately.
I did contact Lisa Vaas and fill her in.
