Sorry, I don't read that as a pot shot -- it's just a clarification on standard expectations for the severity of a security flaw. Otherwise the complaint would be "PRETTY CLASSY, not owning up to a design flaw in Postgres."

The "good general rule" comment is the clarification you describe.
Saying other unnamed database systems are worse -- in that they may have more of exactly the kind of flaw the PostgreSQL developers had here -- is unhelpful and makes them sound childish and defensive. Red Hat doesn't warn about Windows security in an RHSA.

That comment was taken from the FAQ corresponding to the security alert, not the alert itself.
