Yep. The article makes it sound like we all did MVCC. No one told him
is was just one person.

I was mentioning to the MySQL folks that we have some brilliant
developers. Certainly most database companies have only a few really
good developers. Because we have the entire Internet to get people, we
draw the best database developers in the world.

Added to developers page:

We don't hire people to develop PostgreSQL. We have the entire Internet
to get people, so we draw the best database developers in the world.

[Jan, can we get a better image for the developers page?]
