Re: Just for fun: Postgres 20?

Please don't take personal but when you open a discussion like that on number 13 then you are doing something very christian centric and forget the rest of the world. As there are more cultural spheres than the christian one on this planet can you please elaborate the next number which is acceptable (PostgreSQL) world wide?
May I assist you a little bit? The number 4 in japanese and chinese are spoken the same way as the word for death. 14 is spoken as ten-four. That'd a reason to skip PostgreSQL ten-death a.k.a. 14, too, isn't it? You don't want a PG death version, do you? By the way: In Japan or in jewish tradition 13 is a lucky number (see Freitag, der 13. – Wikipedia, sorry, german only). Why do you want to skip a lucky number? Do you prefer PostgreSQL ju-san because that's a lucky number instead of PostgreSQL 13 because that's a unlucky one?

Number 13 (especially Friday 13) is also considered unlucky In Czech
