I have not any problem with pronunciation PostgreSQL or Postgre or
Postgres. (czech language isn't any problem with this). I can
understand, so others languages can have problem. Accepting Postgres
as official short name can good compromise. My sorted arguments:
1. PostgreSQL is good trademark now.
2. change name will do: a) problems for packagers or b)
inconsistencies between name and packages.
3. All well products has DB or SQL in name.
4. PostgreSQL is well indexed by google - change name will do worst rank
The change of name is possible, but I believe, it has to be related to
change of product (add more not SQL features (streaming database
features, etc).
