It could be worse. They could decline to mention Postgres at all (just as they
declined to mention several other open source DBMSs). The fact that this talk
is comparing with Postgres, the Postgres name is getting out there in front of
more people, even if the presentation itself is biased against it. Some people
choosing to watch the presentation may actually use it as evidence to prefer
Postgres for their needs. -- Darren Duncan
