That is good to hear. I do not think (nor do I think anyone else here
thinks) that making Drupal work with PostgreSQL is a bad idea, and I
hope that he and others will continue to pursue that goal - having
said that, asking us to make changes that are not based on solid
technical arguments, don't conform to the SQL standard, and most
important that we already clearly said we were not going to make is
not the way to get there.
