Yes it is, but take a look at what Oracle's been doing to the other 
opensource projects it inherited.

It says a lot when core mysql developers fork a new project.

It says a lot more when this happens across a number of projects 
including the entire Open Office developer team.

Nothing to do with religion - and FWIW, stating that postgresql requires 
a DBA is a clear case of FUD.

My point of view comes from running both engines on the same hardware 
and observing the loads involved. Personally I'd prefer to be running 
mysql but it was clear postgres ran faster and had lower memory 
foorprints for our use than innodb. Others have reported the same thing 
over the years.

(Longer term I'm concerned about what Oracle may do with Mysql as we 
have a number of databases installed on various machines machines doing 
various things for various groups & space scientists are difficult to 
deal with at the best of times, let alone if they have to change tools.)

It'd be nice, but it's not going to happen unless someone who wants 
them, writes it (or pays for it)
