Maybe, but I think the only reason for this is that some companies are
implementing it locally in their forks or whatever.  I bet there are
many prospective customers that we (the open source Postgres project)
are not reaching because of lack of certifiability in this area.

Can we continue to ignore it?  My impression is that that strategy will
continue to work, perhaps indefinitely.  Is it a good idea?  Of that I
am not so sure.
