No I am not ignoring it at all. I consider Postgres a valid nickname for
the project PostgreSQL. I see zero reason to go through the hassle of
changing everything for the sake of two bytes. If you want to call it
Postgres call it Postgres, add an entry to the FAQ that it is a valid
shortening of the name and call it good.
