Agreed on justification, and about the "4-5 line para" ... just your
outline seemed to have several 'paras' focusing on it :)
Why not attribute the features themselves when you list them? Who
sponsored what?
Also, the PR should be focused around what we are releasing, not side
projects ... Slony-I isn't part of this release, and, IMHO, isn't
appropriate as part of the PostgreSQL Server press release ... they should
be doing their own Press Release for that. Focus on what *we* are
releasing, not what another project is releasing ...
