Sure, I was taking it to the extreme here (And I really am sorry if you
felt offended by my remark). But I strongly feel that having a feature
because 'it is something that no one else has. It distinguishes us.' is
no justification at all.

Of course, if a feature provides some real use, then it is worth having
(yes, even if it's not in the standard). But exactly this seems not so
clear in the case of inheritance in postgres.

(And that's where I'm starting to say things I've said before. So I'll
just shut up now.)
