Yeah. How many users do you have today, after having announced it through
planet? (or have you announced it some other way as well?)

I thought that had been removed. It was certainly supposed to be, so we
should definitely not add anything else on that.

In that case it should not be in that domain either. There is nothing wrong

under the postgresql domain should all be managed by the team and fall
under the same policies and handling.

The Web team wouldn't have to be part of anything, or course.
