Hi,

Look, we all know that transaction support is more important than type
mediumint or the function ODBC LENGTH or cosine or whatever.

But what should I, or anybody else, do about it, in your opinion? Take
the "unimportant" tests out? Invent a couple of inconsequential stuff
PostgreSQL can do to balance the book? Repeat the "transactions=no"
entry in the crash-me results file ten times?

> See? Equal. I hope my sarcasm is not too overstated.

Sarcasm hasn't helped in the past, and it's unlikely to help in the future.
