It is just the way I read it. Like I said, I don't really see a big
deal with this release.

'''

Open Source Summit press event here.

On first read, I read that as "PostgreSQL is releasing at the Open
Source Summit press event".

On second read I see that isn't what was meant by the wording. Still a
little obtuse though :)
