Here's an idea: How about a web poll on www.postgresql.org to assess the
current state of affairs from the user's perspective? That would have
several advantages. First, it's pretty easy to do. Second, if there are,
in fact, few or no outstanding major reliability issues, that's good to know
and provides firmer footing for feature planning (also great marketing
fodder). Third, it could provide a quantitative baseline for future
comparisons, helping everyone to get warm fuzzies when measurable
improvement appears. Most importantly, it would provide an opportunity for
corrective action if by chance current assumptions are wrong.
