I am proposing to setup a redmine instance on a VM. I am happy to do a lot

-1. This thread has already cost disproportionally much time and
motiviation. Let's not wase more in doing two evaluations at the same
time, when we might already be happy with one of them. We came pretty
close to agreeing on debbugs in a couple past discussions so that seems
the least unlikely choice to actually get adopted.

I once drove a manual all the time. I swore by the manual. I loved the control, the feeling (ridiculously) that I was a race car driver on the Urban track.

Then I got an automatic and realized how damn nice it was to not be in control or have to worry about whether or not I should shift at 3k RPMS or 4k RPMS. (Then I drove a manual on the wrong side of the road in Ireland and was even happier that I prefer automatics)

We can't just point at something and say, "Oh that will work" because we haven't tried to see how it is going to work with our requirements.

I wouldn't expect any customer to use postgresql because it has an Elephant as a mascot. I expect them to use it because it is the best choice for their requirements.
