Right, but it's not relevant whether or not people **on pgsql-www**
think it's worthwhile. It's only relevant how popular it is in the world.
For example, I think that Windows is a worthless OS which has outlived
its usefulness. That doesn't mean I'm going to champion discontinuing
the Windows installation packages or their related mailing list; Windows
is way too popular for that.
Docker is pretty clear-cut:
- Over 1 million downloads in the last year
- over 2000 downloads of the existing canonical Postgres image since
June 1, even though it's not really in a usable state
Other projects will be less clear-cut, simply because popularity data
isn't available.
