Well right now PostgreSQL endorses the core distro. I guess similar to
the Linux Kernel by Linus. However the difference is that Linux has a
huge market share, whereas PostgreSQL is continuously complaing that
MySQL is inferior yet way more popular. Maybe MySQL's popularity is not
even PostgreSQL's goal, but I am sure a bit more would be welcome.
So yes I think right now it would make sense to endorse a monolithic
distribution.
