If its a matter of time on Sean's part, can we ship the server up to
Joshua to put onto their network?
My one criteria in all of this, from day one, was that it had to be
FreeBSD based, it has to be redundant with our current *core*
infrastructure ... as JoshB has stated in the past, he's sunk personal
money into the server *for* pgFoundry, so just 'ditching' that server,
IMHO, seems to be a no-op ...
