At least he linked "perverbial [sic] elephant in the room Postgres" to
his professional services page by way of covert disclosure of bias.

Java, VirtualBox, Star/OpenOffice and the interaction between Oracle
Enterprise Fedora and Sun's several  Gnu/Linux distros resale/support
relationships are the other elephants in the room.

(I omit 'proverbial' even spelt correctly as that elephant is always
singular. This room is crowded.)
