I didn't see any indication that David's planning on giving a new name to
his rewritten PostgreSQL DBD driver, other than the subject of his email.
It would cause a lot of pain if the driver's name changed from DBD::Pg,
since every place people have DSNs in code or config files would have to
be updated ...

Would anyone actually consider using a different name than DBD::Pg? It
seems it would be a big pain with no benefit, and make it unclear which
driver users should use.
