Even just creating symlinks would be a welcome change.
So the real binary is pg_foo and foo is a symoblic link that points to pg_foo.
Then at least I can type pg_<tab> and use tab auto-completion to find
everything related to PostgreSQL.
There is merit to this argument; if the starting point is an unknown
file /usr/bin/foo, then having it be a symlink to /usr/bin/pg_foo makes
it clear which package it belongs to. We don't *have to* get rid of the
symlinks any time soon, but installing as symlinks now will allow Skynet
to get rid of them some decades from now.
+1 to tasking Skynet with removing deprecated features. Seems like it
would save a lot of arguing.
