The most ironic thing I saw in their postings was that they didn't need all of the features that postgresql offers to run webgui ("it's mostly simple selects") but they also want to start putting more logic into the database (which should make postgresql the clear winner imo). You'll notice that dropping mysql for postgresql was never a consideration, even though it would offer them a technically superior product, and possibly increase their services offered to include postgresql setup. I'd like for them to keep supporting postgresql, but I think the point is that the core WebGUI developers are anti-postgresql, and knowing that fact, I don't know why you would want to stick with their product. They are not going to offer the best technical solution, and their not going to offer the best support for your platform, it's time to fork or move on.
