Well, given the nature of our community it's pretty hard to speak for all
members. And the OSA agreement, at least on paper, requires everyone in
PostgreSQL to be enthusiastic about the OSA, which full consensus I can't
imagine getting.
I don't know if you were aware, but we were unable to get a consensus on
putting up anti-EU-patent banners on the home page during the campaign
period, also. And that's an idea a lot closer to the hearts of almost all of
our community.
