Well, we'd already told Oleg & Teodor that the release notes weren't the
appropriate place to credit *sponsors*.  And I feel that the press kit
is more appropriate than the release notes for this purpose.  Do note
that I'm talking about the extended press kit (i.e. the web page), not
the release announcement.

We do want to "reward" companies for supporting PostgreSQL development,
and have in the past noted which companies sponsored certain features.
Otherwise this source of development funding will dry up, and it's easy
enough for us to give a company a few lines on a web page.
