The other option is that EDB creates a Postgres community, GPLs the code and
puts it all into Subversion, and run it in parallel to the PostgreSQL community
... then everyone that wants to keep the status quo can stick around and
continue marketing and pushing PostgreSQL, and those that "want change" can
just move over to that new project ...

Now, *that* would be an interesting experiment ...
