We have a long standing practice of not promoting external
tools/utilities/add-ons in docs or with releases - as you know we went
out of our way to remove such references from the docs years ago.

This becomes especially problematic when such external
tools/utilities/add-ons have been developed by one particular company,
as Robert pointed out here
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CA+TgmoZVBmTnUT419mS3pV9hESJh78gibD_2tviaoGMWvOTwtg@mail.gmail.com

I strongly oppose recommending any non-core 'stuff' in the docs or
press releases/announcements (including pgAdmin 4).
