That's a pretty reasonable thought. I work for a shop that sells
Postgres support, and even we install MySQL for the Q&D ticket tracking
system we recommend because we can't justify the cost to port it to
postgres. If the postgres support were there, we would surely be using it.

How to fix such a situation, I'm not sure. "MySQL Compatability Mode,"
anyone? :-)
