Thanks for providing the historical context! A for-profit entity,
despite their best intentions, and sometimes by no fault of their own,
may not survive. It's not that a non-profits are guaranteed to
survive, but the conditions they operate in are drastically different
than those of for-profit ones.

I'm sure the community has seen enough of such disappearances over the
years, which is why I was surprised to see the adoption of Cirrus in
core (after I had stopped paying attention to Postgres hackers list
for a few years). Having read that whole discussion, though, I do see
the immense value Cirrus CI provides.

By not adopting at least one other CI, it'd seem like the community
is favoring Cirrus over others; and that doesn't feel good.
