No. That was me stating that the current FAQ stating that Postgres was
an acceptable form of PostgreSQL was enough. Which I do still agree
with.
I have stated that *if* we were going to make wholesale documentation
changes that we should do it in the form of PostgreSQL, hereafter known
as Postgres...
I don't like it but I believe it would be a fair compromise.

You are welcome to bring it up again. I am not going to. I find the
issue currently closed with the FAQ entry.
