I agree it should be considered. It helps build mind share, which I think we can all agree is somewhat lacking for PostgreSQL compared to MySQL. It helps build the impression that PostgreSQL doesn't just sit idle between major releases. It allows a potential user base to see "PostgreSQL" more frequently and build interest. It let's people know that PostgreSQL is constantly being improved. Mind share is a powerful thing and as any advertiser will tell you, press releases is one of the best ways to get the word out.
