From my experience, I would far rather a user raise concerns that are
important to them, and find there is no real problem, than users not
raising things and a serious bug or system shorting coming go unnoticed.

This is a major concern of mine, for example: in my current project,
where users were NOT raising problems in a timely manner, caused
unnecessary work rather later in the project than I would have liked!

So not just for PostgreSQL, but in general if a user has concerns,
please raise them!!!
