I'm not on the advocacy list, nor do I want to be.

Alot of people watch hackers for things like release notices. Why send
a sales oriented document that was written for people who know nothing
about postgresql to hackers anyway? Save the fluff for the other lists
and send a normal announcement here.

BTW, I got the copy of the announcement that went to the ANNOUNCE list.
I'm guessing most folks blew it off as junkmail due to it's format.
