I think the consensus in this thread (and the previous ancient ones) is
that it's not worth it. It's one thing to introduce new commands with the
pg_ prefix, and it's a completely different thing to rename existing ones.
That has inherent costs, and as Tom pointed out the burden would fall on
people using PostgreSQL (and that's rather undesirable).
I thought the consensus was to rename them, and install symlinks to the
old names.
I know symlinks were mentioned/proposed, but I don't think there's a clear
consensus to do that. I might have missed that part of the discussion.
That being said, I'm not strongly opposed to doing that, although I still
don't see the need to do that ...
