Will AWS plans for PostgreSQL RDS help it finally pick up?

"Amazon to add Postgres to its most-favored database list" says GigaOM:
http://gigaom.com/2013/11/12/amazon-to-add-postgres-to-its-most-favored-database-list/"To many this is no-brainer. Amazon wants to support the databases that its developer audiences want to use. This is simply a  case of Amazon responding to user demand and oh-by-the-way making its cloud infrastructure more attractive to a specific target audience. Some say Postgres has gained traction since Oracle’s acquisition of MySQL via its Sun buyout a few years back."
Some people I know said "yea, the writing was on the wall...". Well, was it?? Really? 
AWS finally got the time to "plan" for supporting Postgres now? After supporting MySQL, Oracle and SQL Servers for almost 3 years?! Writing was on the wall? Where can I find a wall …

How to STOP SLAVE on Amazon RDS read replica

We are doing a migration from Amazon RDS to EC2 with a customer. This, unfortunately, involves some downtime – if you are an RDS user, you probably know you can’t replicate an RDS instance to an external server (or even EC2). While it is annoying, this post isn’t going to be a rant on how RDS can make you feel locked in. Instead, I wanted to give you a quick tip.

So here’s the thing – you can’t stop replication on RDS read replica, because you don’t have (and won’t get) privileges to do that:

replica> STOP SLAVE;
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'usr'@'%' (using password: YES)

Normally, you don’t want to do that, however we wanted to run some pt-upgrade checks before we migrate and for that we needed the read replica to stop replicating. Here’s one way to do it:
