Hmmm ... we can re-discuss this. The reason for removing them is that
*paid* ads detract from our image as a serious, well supported, mature
OSS project. Look for other major OSS projects who run paid ads on
their home page ... there aren't any.
Now, if we wanted to make those ads exclusively for PG-supporting OSS
projects and for major donors to postgresql.org (and I'm talking
$10,000+ per year here) then it might be worth revisiting.
What do people think?
