I continue to have reservations, but since I'm involved in a company as
well, any objection I have to certain kinds of marketing is likely to be
seen as partisan or biased. Specifically, I want to show that I have
nothing against EnterpriseDB and the best way to show that is to step
aside. I remove any objection to the user survey going ahead now.

The project needs a survey that is comprehensive, detailed, regular and
global, run by and for the community. I think we should start that on a
positive note, so again reason to withdraw. Dates are flexible but we
need input into the 8.5 dev process.
