That's really the gist of the concern from a team member of mine.  Not that=
 the 4TB number is wrong but that it could be misleading to assume that 4TB=
 is some sort of upper bound.

That's how this concern was relayed to me and I am just following up.

The part you highlighted was:

"There are active PostgreSQL systems in production environments that manage=
 in excess of 4 terabytes of data."

Which is pretty accurate, I know of some myself that are larger than 4TB.  =
That 4TB number isn't a limit of any kind and the sentence says "in excess =
of" meaning that there are databases larger than that.
There's actually some which are quite a bit larger than that, in fact.

We could bump the number up there or remove the sentence, but I don't think=
 there's anything inaccurate about the statement.

Thanks!

Stephen
