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: <quote> 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. </quote> - -- Greg Sabino Mullane g...@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200909102043 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAkqpnr8ACgkQvJuQZxSWSsht+ACfeD+Cy/uG4a+zMQEwSvahao5i jNAAniSu/y7vazK+L9cKGQTHlQaGw8Pa =eeVM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
