I think Great Bridge makes a shining example of an exception to
that rule, the impression I got from the developers already there
as well as the managment was very good.

And although I loath to speak for others, you wouldn't think that
Bruce would take this position if it somehow compromised the
integrity of the project somehow, would you?

This is Bruce's choice, but if this was somehow put up to a vote,
how many of you would like to have him working full time on Postgresql
alongside several other highly skilled developers and compensated
for his work rather than trying to squeeze it into his everyday
life like so many other opensource authors with "real jobs" on the
side?
