Yes, to me this is true. Because lots of people abbreviate 'PostgreSQL'
with 'Postgres' mostly for easier pronunciation and simplicity. I doubt
very much that, once 'Postgres' becomes the official name, anybody
seriously wants to call it 'PostgreSQL' anymore.
Of course, during a slow transition, both names will be used. But
'PostgreSQL' can fade away slowly. OTOH 'Postgres' will never fade away,
as we have learned. Mainly from that I'm concluding that 'Postgres' is
the better name (better as in marketing, not technical correctness).
