The biggest headache I find with using postgres is that various GPL

because of our use of OpenSSL. Each and every one of those program
needs to add an exception to their licence for distributors to
distribute postgresql support.

They could distribute a non-ssl-enabled version, *if* they really need to include libpq in the package, or advise to to replace it with the common version if ssl is required. I bet >99 % of pgsql connections are not encrypted anyway.
