Why does the article say "clearly they created their own fork of Postgres"?

From the article it sounds there are some features/tweaks to Postgres that are not just config changes. I'm not sure but it seems reasonable that Amazon had to make changes to run the way they wanted it to. What else would take them so long in offering Postgres on RDS?
