Peter Eisentraut blogged something about this with some suggestion of
moniker containing the word "universal," which seems attractive to me...

Once upon a time, Informix renamed (at a time when there were some
commonalities in the original provenance of our respective code bases,
since at one time, Postgres begat Illustra...) to "Informix UDB",
suggesting some "universality" of their implementation.

I think we have more "universalness" than they did then ;-).
