OK, good, let's see how people feel about the FAQ changes and if it
helps.

I do think having "PostgreSQL" lots of places in the same paragraph is
kind of long-winded, so I do think additional uses of "Postgres" will
be good.

FYI, I live near Philadelphia, but everyone here calls it "Philly", and
there are even companies that use the name like "Philly Pretzel
Company", http://www.phillysoftpretzelfactory.com/pretzelstory.html. I
don't call it "Philly" when I am out of the country because few people
recognize it outside the USA. Anyway, to me it shows an alias can get
general usage without renaming the city, but I do think we should
promote the alias in a focused way.
