Well, problem #1 is that you never discussed this on pgsql-www that I can find
in the archives. It's quite possible that the other WWW team members would
not share your evaluation, and would have decided to take another course.
This looks like a case of you making a unilateral decision which other
members of the team could (will?) be required to do damage control on.

BTW, the reason Spamassassin requires MySQL is that it's badly designed -- on
my server we couldn't even use MySQL, we were running it in RAM because of
the I/O intensive design. If you switched to dspam, you could use Postgres
properly.
