Certainly, there are more considerations to take into account
than I initially realized. One possibility would be to create an
alias (or synonym) for the function "pg_postmaster_start_time",
naming it "pg_postgres_start_time". This way, the name change
could occur gradually and strategically over the coming years,
without immediate impact. I believe this approach could be
viable to facilitate a future transition without abrupt breaks.
