But without such changes the alias is only in the FAQ and will not be
widely used.

Well, actually, I see it the opposite where you brow-beat folks until
you think they will quit. (I am not a quitter, which I think you know.)
And I certainly do think the name change will finally be made, so I
don't feel like I have to subvert anything.
I thought it would not be a controversial change because I already
stated I wanted to make the alias more visible and no one objected. Now
I have a few objections and a lot of people who think it is a good idea.
Frankly, if the alias takes hold we might not need to make the full name
change -- supressing this idea now might actually hasten the name
change.

I see no reason we can't move forward with more. I certainly have the
minimal time it would take to make simplistic changes:
grep -A5 PostgreSQL *.sgml
shows me pretty much the places that need updating --- about 15 minutes.

Again, why shut down the discussion?
