Although I regard PostgreSQL as quite simple and easy to use (I find
it easier than MySQL, for instance), your oversimplication won't help
the potential users to evalute PostgreSQL. For instance, I typically
spend a lot of time in step 5, editing pg_hba.conf and struggling to
obtain the desired effect.
Also, on non-Debian platforms, step 1 can be more complicated if I
want other languages (I use Python a lot in my stored procedures).
