+1.

Decoupling it from a major release and doing at
8.3.1 might be best.

If there'll be a transition period where both "PostgreSQL"
and "Postgres" are acceptable anyway - there's no need that
it has to be tied to a major release; and this way core can
stay focused on the technology during the release period.
