Sun supporting PostgreSQL

Today, Sun announced that they would be supporting and shipping PostgreSQL
as a part of Solaris distribution. The press release should be here very
soon, if it's not already:
http://www.sun.com/smi/Press/sunflash/web_sunflash.html
This should come as no surprise to the hackers in our community who've
noticed an increasing number of @sun.com addresses on the pgsql-hackers
list in the last few months. Sun's support for PostgreSQL will involve:
help in optimizing for Solaris; DTrace; Solaris packages; sponsorship of
community members and projects; and direct contributions/advice from Sun
engineers on database performance. More later as this stuff actually
gets rolling.
I think almost everyone here will agree with me that Sun is a very welcome
addition to our community of corporate supporters.

Wow, it takes a *long* time to process 21k subscribers ... I take it
you've now received also? I just checked the newsgroup pgsql.general and
it too received it ...
