You just now figuring that out, Bruce? :-) No, that was the part I thought
most interesting -- PostgreSQL being considered not just an important
application, but an important application running on a linux-powered mainframe
-- or am I the only one who gets the non-sequitur here? On a machine that runs
VM/ESA and more than likely DB2, CICS, etc, PostgreSQL is an important
application. On a mainframe. An IBM mainframe.

We are mentioned in the same sentence and with the same implications as Apache,
Sendmail, Bind, and Samba -- now that's classy.
