Personally I'd like to see it go down so more people will start supporting PostgreSQL - which is a far better database anyway
Does PostgreSQL have non-transactional tables like MySQL? I am not trying to start a holy war, just asking since I do not know.
Postgresql uses MVCC (multi-verson concurrency control) so tables aren't locked for transactions but each operation only sees previously committed updates. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/mvcc-intro.html
