I've been having a lot of fun here at the SIGMOD annual conference,
attaching faces to names like Stonebraker, Hellerstein, Aoki,
Seltzer (if these do not ring a bell, you ain't read enough Postgres
source code lately).  I felt I had to pass along this gem from Joe
Hellerstein, right after he observed that he knew the PG sources
quite well, and he'd noticed MySQL was a lot smaller:

"Postgres is bloatware by design: it was built to house PhD theses."

immediately followed by

"The current maintainers [he's looking right at me while he says this]
have done a great job of trimming the fat.  I know that *my* thesis
is gone entirely."
        regards, tom lane
