I had mentioned just one.

And that one does not only fill in a functionality gap that is pretty
important when it comes to competition/advocacy vs. e.g. that database
with the capital "O", but it is also mentioned already on
postgresql.org.

Honestly, don't try to tell me that the majority of the developers
working on PostgreSQL are not aware of PostgreSQL-XC.

Just putting one single URL into the doc instead of the misleading
statement that there's no such thing should have been less work than
replying to me.

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with PostgreSQL-XC, I don't even use
it myself, I just happen to know that it exists, even though I am just a
"casual" user of PostgreSQL.

Sincerely,

Wolfgang
