I wouldn't really hold that up as a shining example of a core decision. :)
Heck, I still can't understand it - the majority of core is decidely
for changing the name back to "Postgres" (some adamantly so), but somehow
as a committee they manage to reach the opposite conclusion?
Time to start lobbying for the name change again I suppose. As Bruce said
two years ago in August 2007:

What I think we will find in two years it that many
will wish we had made the change pre-8.3 because in
two years we will be even more entrenched than we are now.
The bottom line is that the pronunciation/marketing problem with the
name "PostgreSQL" is not going to change --- it is only going to get
worse.
