Perhaps someone from advocacy could go through their list of issues
and help them. They do seem to be trying to update it, and now
have references to newer features: "Datafile location and a
tablespace implementation as of version 8."

However some of their criteria (savepoints:"no", incremental
online backups:"no", and "access to multiple databases: no"
(what about dblink)) still seem incorrect.

Fermilab did have contact information ("mail comments to:") at the
bottom of the page. Fermilab's a quite highly respected organization,
so I think this page is probably trusted by many.
