I don't know about you, but I market PostgreSQL partially using
1. sane design, not driven by random demands
2. extensibility
which would be completely contradicted by moving any module into core
for "marketing" reasons.

It's not like PostgreSQL is the first software product in the world to
provide a module or plugin mechanism. (It is incidentally the first
DBMS to do so.) People who refuse to understand that are idiots, and
we don't design for idiots.
