It's a lot easier with a 5 year window for PostgreSQL: Kernel developers have to support all kinds of weird semi-buggy hardware that they can't buy in their country, they have to make the kernel work with badly written GPU drivers , and they have to deal with interrupt-level code which is notoriously difficult to debug.
