Done.  Certainly better to get that at the end.  That chapter is going
to be a mess to look at.

I agree on this particular item BUT...

wouldn't it be nice if the book would be a 'hard' book?
there already are lots of database tutorials, introductions to sql etc.

focus on db developers, go into (maybe not that deep) how and why postgres
is/was developed the way it is/was.

'hard' books are a 'good thing' (tm) and it would be too bad if this would
become another entry-level booklet.

OTOH an entry-level book is probably required to get as big a user-base as
possible.
