His point makes sense, Roman. While pg is not a company or a company product, it certainly needs to play nice with business in order for it to *have* (a significent number of) users. As much as I dislike it (probably the euphemism of the year), Windows is a fact on most development machines and on a substantial number of servers. In the case of Vista, even if none of the core commiters plan to support it, it makes a lot more sense to store the RFE and say it'll have to wait, than to say "you got a problem? go fix it". Both attitudes reflect the same reality, but the fact that one is positive and one negative is obvious.
