True, they weren't very fast on this one. But they're usually good at quickly pushing out new services/features/apis and integrating new products from acquired companies.
As someone who's never used RDS - does this let you adjust the postgresql.conf settings? Specifically interested in turning off synchronous commit or adjusting shared_buffers. If that is possible this would be a godsend.
The only thing that seems to be missing is pl/v8 support. In case anyone from amazon is reading this, I've noticed that the functions floating around on github for the new json data type are using pl/v8, and I suspect this will only become more common.

Plus, I've heard that mysql will ignore maxlength for chars, causing issues when moving those to postgres.
