Based on what though?

All the clients that I deal with on a daily basis generally care about is
performance ... that is generally what they upgrade for ... so, my
'educated guess' based on real world users is that Win32, PITR and nested
transactions are not important ... tablespaces, I have one client that has
asked about something *similar* to it, but tablespaces, for him, doesn't
come close to what they would like to see ...

So, my 'educated guess' is different then yours is ... does that make
yours wrong? Nope ... just means we have different sample sets to work
with ...
