Not spending as much time sitting in meetings and fighting with other
vendors is one of the competitive advantages PostgreSQL development has
vs. the "big guys". There needs to be a pretty serious problem with
your process before adding bureaucracy to it is anything but a backwards
move. And standardization tends to attract lots of paperwork. Last
thing you want to be competing with a big company on is doing that sort
of big company work.
