That's not true.  RT 3.2 supports PostgreSQL out of the box, and at
least one of Best Practical's customers (Afilias) requires that MySQL
not be the platform (because I'm just too worried about the current
license).  That isn't to say it's the only choice, but it does indeed
support Postgres.  Jesse Vincent has told me, also, that PostgreSQL
support is important to him.

RT is pretty flexible for managing issues, bugs, problems, &c.  I'm
not real sure it's right for this job, but it might be.  CPAN appears
to use it, for instance.

In the future this spectacle of the middle classes shocking the avant-
