I think that description is false. At a certain point in the
management hierarchy, the only way anyone has the ability to evaluate
something is on the basis of reputation. PostgreSQL is building its
reputation, but it doesn't have the marketing budget of those three.
Therefore, it's safer to pick the thing that has a better reputation,
and that makes those reputations stronger still. So what we need is
a spotless reputation -- which we're building.
