You're putting this as if there had been an official vote against the change
by the Italian, French and Japanese communities. This is not the case -
or at least I'm sure it's not the case for the Italian community, which I'm part
of.

I'd say core should vote: if they don't do anything now the topic will come up
every 6 months from now on. If they vote the rest of us will accept any outcome
(except postgre ;).

After reading the different arguments, personally, now I'd go with Postgres,
low-profile change, not at a major release and - as Gabriele suggested - with
some heads-up time ahead for the community (so nobody does a conference with the
wrong title because they didn't know).

Bye,
Chris.
