Well, Afilias uses Postgres to run the .org and .info registries. If
your management is getting FUD, please contact me off-list and I'll see
about getting one of my managers to talk with them.

We're always keen to improve the postgres talent pool, especially in
Toronto. Makes hiring easier, and that's important for a growing company.
