because there is legacy code out there, that was ported from MySQL, and
now it used to work with PostgreSQL and it doesn't now.

RT is a MAJOR app.....

the PHPGroupware stuff could also be major, depending on what
people are using.

I guess Vivek and I are just going to have to do without these 2 apps until/
unless they can be rev'd.

I really wish this had been better thought out. I know I crabbed it during
BETA, but was the first one.

now it's too late.

This stinks from a Marketing perspective.
