I haven't heard this argument in a very long time and considering I have
various governments constantly asking me to fill out RFPs (you can have
them 2ndQuadrant/EDB, RFPs are the suck) I am not inclined to agree with
your statement.

Should the announcement be on the front page. I don't know. Part of me
says, "well of course". They are a major postgresql contributor after all.

The other part of me, and problem the bigger part says, "Absolutely
not". Why? Because it isn't PostgreSQL news. It is 2ndQuadrant news.
Maybe it belongs on -announce but it definitely doesn't belong on .Org news.
