Well, the thread may have ended, but the problem remains. Call
it the 900 pound gorilla in a room full of elephants. I know
many people are loathe to see the discussion come up again,
but as long as the project is saddled with its ugly and
unweildy official name, it has a large problem.

It's really in the best interests of the project to make the
change as soon as possible, and undo the mistake of changing
it from Postgres in the first place. Changing it to coincide
with the interest bounce we'll get from the Oracle/MySQL
situation seems a no-brainer from an advocacy perspective.
