Yeah!

I have just released a prototype software (not related to pg): I'm going 
to tell them to treat it with extreme suspicion, no matter how much they 
may respect the developer (me)!

Though like Pg, it is critical that it records data with reliability. 
Also, both need testing to try and detect intermittent errors (I already 
found one myself in the prototype - fortunately, not so critical it 
needs to be fixed in the prototype, but would have to be eliminated from 
the production version!).

So I think it really great to encourage people to come up with demanding 
tests, especially automated stress testing for pg.


Cheers,
Gavin
