I am not inclined to add commercial offerings.  If people wanted
commercial database offerings, they can get them from companies that
advertize.  People are coming to PostgreSQL for open source solutions,
and I think mentioning commercial ones doesn't make sense.

If we are to add them, I need to hear that from people who haven't
worked in PostgreSQL commerical replication companies.
