Disclosure, I work at Timescale.

Though I didn't write this post, I'd imagine at least part of it is that it's already nearly 4000 words and a 15 minute read and we just didn't want to add another set of things to it, to be perfectly honest.

`pg_partman` is cool! I haven't used it in a while, and because it uses declarative partitioning, it has some locking issues that we address with our partitioning scheme, but implying that it is OSS and we're not in terms of things like data retention features is a bit misleading as well. The `drop_chunks` command used for data retention is in the Apache 2 licensed portion of Timescale.

But almost all of your posts and benchmarks are based on the closed source version of Timescale. Everywhere I have seen it is always recommend to use the closed source version to get decent performance out of it.

Just to clarify: Nothing on Timescale is closed-source. It is all source available, all on Github. Some of it is Apache2 licensed, some of it is Timescale Licensed. And it is all free.
