Hmm... do you just dislike the way I used support? Lets flip it to match
the original wording:
PostgreSQL 7.4 expands 64 bit support to include AMD Opteron in
addition to other 64 bit platforms including PA-RISC, Sparc, S/390,
MIPS, Alpha, and RS6000*
or maybe better is:
PostgreSQL 7.4 expands 64 bit compatibility to include AMD Opteron in
addition to other 64 bit platforms including PA-RISC, Sparc, S/390,
MIPS, Alpha, and RS6000*
(note to all: I'll be posting a draft #4 sometime tonight)
