I wouldn't say we've done #2.

A variation of #2 would be to emphasize it much *much* *MUCH* more.

Just as IBM uses the term "IBM" much more than the cumbersome
"International Business Machines Corporation" - the project could
move to using "Postgres" almost everywhere -- Home Page,
Documentation, Press Releases, Logos, etc. The move could
be gradual, as I expect IBM's was.

The cumbersome long form could still exist; but would be only
used about as much as IBM uses their cumbersome long-form.
