Except georgebarnett and jarym.

Or perhaps that was the point, that PostgreSQL isn’t doing much! :)

It seems that despite things not being perfect (and they never are), these people are still having positive experiences with the product and the community overall. So, to restate, some people care enough to post about it on HN, but nobody (who continues to use PG, and there are a lot of us) cares all that much.
