Same reason lots of people have forked Postgres.  Or you might just want
to customize it.

It's a pretty unusual and annoying trick that other projects have not
felt they had to resort to.

Thanks, that's the page I remember.  The TH3 test suite is the
interesting one and you can't get it without paying a lot of $$$$$.  I
guess there is some semantic quibble possible about whether you pay for
the test suite, or (as they put it) pay for Consortium membership and
then (as a member) get the test suite for free.

Do you know the situation with the SQL Logic Test (SLT) also mentioned
on that page?
