I think PGSQL enforces the PostgreSQL name, where as PG can still lead to
Postgre.
I do refer to it as PGSQL, Postgres and PostgreSQL in conversation, but this
has gotten to the point of silliness. We don't need to adopt more usable
forms of the name. We need to settle on a name that makes sense and move
forward. The politics around this and the vocal anti-rename minority are
getting ridiculous, imho.
