Joshua proposed:
! In November 2007 a classic Open Source debate took place on whether
! or not to change the name of the PostgreSQL project to Postgres.
! It was decided that Postgres would be an officially recognized
! nickname but that the name would remain PostgreSQL. Postgres was
! the original name of the project at Berkeley and is strongly
! preferred over other nicknames. If you find 'PostgreSQL' hard
! to pronounce, call it 'Postgres' instead.

The debate has certainly spread well before (and after) November 2007.
Not sure what makes it a "classic Open Source debate" either. Because
it was debated in the open? I think the "decision" was basically
Core's punting of making the tough but necessary decision to make
the project name pronounceable once again (if I can add some spin
of my own :). If we are going to say "It was decided", we need
to state who (Core) actually did the decreeing / deciding.
In case it wasn't clear, I'm not in support of changing the FAQ
as proposed above.
