I think the same arguments for supporting a single database apply.  It would 
possibly be slightly less painfull to support Oracle, but the target market 
is probably two orders of magnitude smaller.  All the testing and concurrent 
developpement dificulties would remain.

In any event, multi-master replication is disabled in 10 XE, which would be 
it's only potential advantage over postgres.
