Well, ordinarily you would expect a commercial development organization
to function something like this:

--> Branding ---> Sales
/
Marketing --
\
--> Requirements engineering ---> Programming

But the PostgreSQL world operates more like this:

-- FUD <--- Random users <........................
/ .
Advocacy <-- .
\ .
-- Release notes scramble <--- Random hacking <...

Which is why from a traditional marketing perspective, nothing we do
makes a lot of sense. ;-)
