there are many use cases for tools to use postgresql and postgis, including and beyond working with openstreetmap data. It would be invaluable to have postgresql + postgis available on toollabs the same way that mysql is.
We are currently working on setting up a Mysql DB on physical servers for Labs' use; given that there are also nice things that can be done with a working pgsql in general (testing mw against it comes to mind), I think this should be provided as a general service. The current mysql DB plan calls for a master/slave setup, it'd be easy to set up a postgres server on those same servers as well -- switching roles so that performance is distributed.
