I care, because as a consultant, I'm called in to solve other people's
problems when they most need help.  And I'd rather solve problems
in PostgreSQL than farking around with MySQL.

I also am in an opportunity to be called in during the early phases of
project assessment and design.  There, I have an opportunity to talk
about choice of database amongst other things.  So, I need to be armed
with facts about choices, more than just anecdotes.

So this is a useful thread, for those areas of my business.  Please
continue. :)
