Yeah, perhaps. The term "bootstrap superuser" is reasonably well established by now --- I count half a dozen uses in our SGML docs and another dozen or so in the code --- and it's certainly more specific than "database superuser". We should probably create a glossary entry for it and then change all the uses of "database superuser" as appropriate. However ... it looks to me like some of those uses just mean to distinguish between Postgres-specific superuser-dom as opposed to whatever the term might mean out in the operating system. But I'm not sure that anybody really uses that term for an OS-level concept on any popular OS, so it feels a bit pedantic as well as confusing. Should we leave those usages alone, or reduce them to just "superuser"? regards, tom lane
