Because it is not packaged yet.  If it is used on Linux, then through
maven.  But we don't need to take care of that usecases.

Our usecase is that you even don't need maven to _run_ (not build) jdbc
Fedora.  It has been always like that -- see the jdbc plugin spec file how
old is it, it used to build with ant.

At this moment -- all you need to access PostgreSQL server is to install
Java and pgjdbc driver and you can access remote running PostgreSQL
server.

This is not acceptable, unfortunately.  That jar is not aimed for
re-distribution, we can't depend on it.

Then they don't use Linux RPMs and they don't need us to provide the OSGi
support.

They are accessible, but even if they are -- OpenHAB guys don't use them
most probably.  They still use the upstream one from maven.
