Huh?  PPAS 9.5.0.5 is already out there since at least last week; Before 
that PPAS 9.4.5.y or so was there ...
(Not affiliated with EDB, but precision is important)

I agree that auditing is a big selling point and frequently used... But 
it's got to be done "the Postgres way", and that takes time (and usually 
provides superior results).
