As a proponent of PostgreSQL over MySQL and other database inside a
bunch of companies, one thing that's been problematic is the fact that
feature set is accidental, or appears that way.

I totally understand that people want to work on what they want to
work on, but there are obvious places that Postgres has issues that
make it less competitive. I can't go to anyone in the company and say
"8.3 will solve X," and in fact, until 8.2 hits the release, I'll not
really know what's in it. This makes planning difficult.

That's my main real complaint.
