Thank you for the explanation Jonathan, though I am not sure I quite get
it. The Downloads page needs restructuring, which apparently needs to be
done regardless of whether Postgres Installer is listed there. I don't
understand why Postgres Installer should be held up because of it.

We moved quickly to address all concerns raised in the first round. It
sends a rather discouraging message from the community if I find out about
this decision more than a month after I sent the revised patch, and that
too after repeated reminders.

I believe this puts Postgres Installer at a disadvantage, and without good
reason. I would urge you to kindly reconsider. Thanks!
