I believe the official decision relates to PEP 238:

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0238/

And Guido was one of the authors of the PEP, so the chances are it won't be
changed for a long time.

Cheers,

(PS: Yes, I prefer C's integer division, where it's always rounded towards 0
(truncation), not just a straight floor.)
