I doubt that is Dave's intent because then we might as well stop work on
PostgreSQL too.

I say if Wheeler wants to do it, he should do it and stop quibbling with
the rudiments of the Org opinion. Guess how many people have opinions?
Buildfarm succeeded because someone stepped up, evaluated, took a little
feedback and ran with it. He didn't screw around waiting for everyone to
be happy.
So +1 on Wheeler's idea.
