To follow up on this a bit. I liken this whole discussion to a beverage
I happen to enjoy. The good portion of the world knows it as Coke.
However, The "name" is Coca-Cola. All of their branding is Coca-Cola,
all of their logos etc...
However.. You will see, even on the same label:
Get a FREE Coke
Coca Cola
...
Coca Cola has been around since 1886.
What I see is this:
PostgreSQL will *always* be PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL will commonly be referred to as Postgres over time, starting
with the FAQ and general conversation.
In the long run the two will merge where the pedantic is PostgreSQL and
the common use is Postgres.
It is something however, that should not be rushed and should be done
"in due time". I feel Bruce is rushing.
