You've got to look at what press releases are used for. I added that
paragraph for this reason: Journos use press releaes in three
ways. i) Delete ii) Rewrite facts as a product announcement iii) Try to
make a story out of it.
Ultimately, we will get the most press out of a story about Postgres. If
we do not have a paragraph or two in the press release to give journos a
story, we wont get one. The "A Timely Release" thing was nothing and can
be replaced. But what with?
Thanks,
Gavin
