I'm in that camp ... but I'm not in the "chastise anyone that uses Postgres or
Postgre" camp ... the official name is 'PostgreSQL', the 'common name(s)' are
Postgres and Postgre (or Pg, or PgSQL, we have several to choose from) ...

Anyone that believes that switching to Postgres is going to get rid of Postgre,
mind you, is severely deluding themselves, IMHO ... its a name that is out
there, those that are using it to reference the project are in the habit of
doing so now, and changing the official name isn't going to change that habit
...
