There are several parts of the system where the term 'postmaster' appears and could potentially be changed to 'postgres'. In most cases, I agree with you: keeping the current term is a more cautious approach and ensures stability. However, in the case of this function, the adjustment is quite simple and doesn’t involve significant changes to the files; it’s really just a matter of 'replacing' the term.
