I understand your point of view, and it would be a valid point if Asterisk we stable. From experience however, I have never had a PostgreSQL server crash on me with the exception of one server that developed a faulty ram chip. Some of my servers have had up to 20GB tables in production. Asterisk on the other hand seems to crash a couple of times a day under minimal load. When you can run Asterisk in production for 3 months without seeing a single core file then your point begins to hold water..
