It would be more accurate to consider Truviso's product a heavily extended
version of the server, rather than doing so much modifying of the stock
PostgreSQL programs like Greenplum does.  We've been kicking back any
internal upgrades we needed to the core code itself whenever possible,
just haven't been too many of them yet because we're still so busy
building new extensions instead.
