We can be perfectly technically correct, or we can have people who
aren't already PostgreSQL users get interested enough to try our stuff.
 There is no third choice.

So far, the only suggestions I've seen for how to advocate this feature
have involved renaming it, which isn't realistic at this point.  If
someone has an alternative description for the feature that anyone who
is not already a PostgreSQL DBA will care about, them please come
forward with it.
