What about some mention like:
This release is bundled with the open source replication solution,
Slony-I. Other commercial replication solutions are available from
other vendors, such as Command Prompt, Incorporated.
Does this satisfy everyone's needs?
I think that replication should be mentioned in some way as it helps to
tell some people that PostgreSQL is ready for the enterprise. However,
I do agree that we want to avoid leaving people with the idea that this
is *the* end all and be all for PostgreSQL replication.
Best Wishes,
