I just want to say I dislike this idea.
This is almost as bad as Magnus agreeing with JD (!), but I agree with
Peter :-). After years of typing the current names, changing them does
seem somewhat annoying. Worse yet, pg_* is just awkward to type.
While the change might be awkward, the names of these binaries really
should be namespaced in some way. The current just too generic to be
throwing into a bin/ directory in my opinion.
Why should they be name spaced? I see zero reason why that should be the
case...
apache_httpd?
gnu_ls?
The only obvious name spaced applications out there are in the G/K world
of nome and de.
