I'm sure other people will correct me, but AFAIK there has been an
effort recently to remove things from the main release that are not
actually maintained by the PostgreSQL core. So any project that has
its own developers and timeline is generally distributed by that
project. The PostgreSQL team releases: PostgreSQL.

Hope this helps,
