Justin, This is certainly the case here. I think IBM is deprecating informix, and many informix users are being forced to make a change, and they are seriously considering postgres as an alternative.
It behooves us to look at aubit http://aubit4gl.sourceforge.net/ before making this decision as well. I believe the aubit project has the potential to move postgres forward considerably as well.
