Seriously, it's a wild (and heart-breaking) story about js-core maintainer adding a similar line for funding, receiving many hateful answers, while in debt and even going to prison, then not being able to leaveRussia, just for the sake of continuing to maitain his FOSS lib.
I've posted it as a separate entry because it definitely needs more visibility.

I would prefer it if there were more things like this. Or a randomly chosen line from a set for example.

I'm going to assume all the noisy dissenters are MySQL maintainers, because that head-canon is much funnier.
I can see how Postgre's evolved that way out of history, when MySQL was thought of as a toy DB. It seems like they added features as a reactionary action then merged them to simplify and now we have three things that are essentially the same. It leads to confusion organization by organization.
