I think "shared" would give the wrong impression to many people ---
nowadays the connotation of that is something that you are exposing
to at least your local network, maybe the entire internet (think
"Windows shares"). I realize that the meaning you had in mind was
"shared among authorized users of this Postgres cluster", but I doubt
that implication will come through to very many newbies.
