I don't think so. In my experience, the enterprises are not using
PostgreSQL (or other OS software in genera) because they think there's no
guarantee or support available. If there's a third party (might be a local
consulting company) providing acceptable guarantees and support for
PostgreSQL, it may as well provide guarantees for pgbouncer and the
enterprise customer is fine.

They simply want a package with guarantees, it does not matter whether
it's in core or not.
