Actually I'd vote for renaming the silent-mode switch. That's pretty
well deprecated anyway isn't it? I've certainly not seen it used in
start scripts.
Similarly, I think it would be less likely to cause problems if you
renamed postmaster -s (SIGSTOP) than postgres -s. I can't imagine
that anyone is using postmaster -s in the field.

I don't think we should let the risk of breaking a few start scripts
dissuade us from cleaning up this mess.
