not broken, don't fix

There are some shockingly old releases of PostgreSQL still in production for this reason. Security updates should push the upgrade path a little harder, but there are still cases where a database can be completely isolated from the network and that might not even matter.

I inherited a production system with a PostgreSQL 8.1 database. It's one of the most reliable systems I have.

Same here. FWIW, I informally refer to it as "MS-SQL" to differentiate.

When I do that, the less technical people I report to get it confused with MySQL which is not what I want.

M$-SQL would be appropriate, but it might be confused with Oracle...
