AFAIR, in the discussion about naming of the new FDW, another
name postgres_fdw was suggested as well as postgresql_fdw, and I
chose the one more familiar to me at that time.  I think that only few
people feel that "postgres" is shortened name of
postgresql.

How about using postgres_fdw for PG-FDW?
