What would you like Heroku to do with a MySQL on EC2 offering that Amazon is not currently doing with their MySQL on EC2 offering (Amazon RDS)? They are both local, use the same underlying infrastructure, and have Heroku add-ons, no?
Presumably, their decision to only support Postgres is partly competition (many others provide MySQL on EC2), and partly technical. How would you justify the technical merits of the decision, without sounding "like a used car salesman"?
