I think the attraction of PGAN is that people have some hope of guessing what it means (CPAN/PGAN), and because C and G look similar, there is even more an association, e.g. swap C and P, change C to G, and viola.

Again, to hackers :). I am looking at this differently. If I stand up and say, "PostgreSQL has PGXN, the PostgreSQL Extension Network" Versus "PostgreSQL has PGAN, P can that Can, I am Pee gannning."
