+  <title>Known Limitation</title>
+  <para>
+   While <productname>Postgres-XL</productname> strives hard to stay compatible
+with <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> so that applications running on
+<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> can be easily ported to
+<productname>Postgres-XL</productname>, there are certain known limitations of
+the product. Many of these can be addressed as and when sufficient development
+funding and resources become available.

+   <productname>Postgres-XL</productname> has been evolving over many years,
+originating with the <productname>GridSQL</productname>
+project and <productname>Postgres-XC</productname>, later combined as TransLattice Storm (StormDB).
+TransLattice open sourced the project, resulting in Postgres-XL 9.2. More
+recently, the EU-funded Big Data project AXLE funded the main work to bring the
+code up to date as <productname>Postgres-XL</productname> 9.5, allowing
+<productname>Postgres-XL</productname> to take advantage of the
+rapidly increasing BI features plugged into the core of
+<productname>PostgreSQL</productname>.
