I only have one thing to say. WTF?
Man, I really wish IT article authors would try and understand what
they're writing about.
First, he says PG will add a debugger for, specifically, Oracle
PL/SQL. Then, in the bulleted list, it says specifically PL/pgSQL;
not the same thing.

Yea, it seems the cleaned-up version is still not fully cleaned up.

By "not fully cleaned up," do you mean "contains major factual and
conceptual errors in each paragraph?"
Cheers,
David.

Hmmm. Usually Charlie does much better than this. BTW, the features came
from a phone call with me, and I directed Charlie to some online lists.
I've a feeling what happened is that for some reason he waited several days
between asking me to explain the features and running the article (certainly
it was over a week until publication) and lost track of what they were
actually about.
Overall, I really don't see any issue for the community with the article;
people will assume that inaccuracies are Charlie's. What the article
substantially says is that we're going into beta soon, which is good news to
have out there.
