_Please_, not this chestnut again.  What is this "core distribution
of Postgres" that people keep talking about?  This is a PostgreSQL
community project, supported with PostgreSQL community resources
(pgfoundry).  It is an important tool, but there is no reason
whatever to "integrate" it with the "core distribution".

Nobody thinks vi should be part of the kernel, just because vi is on
every usable UNIX in the world (pick some other "basic" program if
you like.  Perhaps mkdir?).  It's a separate program.  It happens
to be shipped together in the same (perhaps virtual) box, but that
doesn't make it any less of a part of the working system.
