But this story is not about PostgreSQL. This is about MariaDB. Their choise is what supports their story. Had they made a better story with another company that supports PostgreSQL, they would have chosen it. This has nothing to do with PostgreSQL or companies related to it. Also, this is not about what a company has committed to pg. This is what they (MariaDB) tell from their side that they can make people believe.
