What's the number of unique posters to pgsql-bugs and pgsql-hackers since
beta started? Can anyone get me that number?

OK.

Too technical. And we don't want to imply that we *don't* have table
partitioning; we have it as much as MySQL or Ingres has. Basically this
blurb is a careful balance between saying "We have Table Partitioning!"
and overhyping the feature.

Can you draft a short (4-6 line) paragraph for inclusion in the web-based
presskit (NOT the release)? WITHOUT saying anything bad about the GPL?
