I just don't buy this argument, at all. These functions names are
certainly not the only things we're changing with PG10 and serious
monitoring/backup/administration tools are almost certainly going to
have quite a bit to adjust to with the new release, and that isn't news
to anyone who works with PG.

Thanks!
