ACK here. There are (or were) people which cared about Felix packages.
This might change, but it should not block redistribution of JDBC. It is
really natural to have conditional dependencies.
The problem here is that making some feature optional must be clearly stated, preferably in the bundle name. I'd expect postgresql jar taken from Fedora distribution behave the same as postgresql jar taken from the official web site. if you change it - tell in bold in the description or name it postgresql-no-osgi.jar.

What projects do you mean here? Maybe we can learn from them, somehow.
E.g. if look here: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate/hibernate-osgi/4.3.5.Final
you will see hibernate-osgi depends on org.osgi artifact.
And in Fedora: https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/devel/rawhide/s390/h/hibernate-osgi-4.3.5-6.fc23.noarch.html
this dependency is provided by felix: https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=mvn(org.osgi%3Aorg.osgi.core)

Right, then we can probably discuss how to Linux specific builds somehow.
There must be a way?
Side note: Vitalii, as you sort of trust maven repositories, you are fine
to use (online) 'maven install', then you'll get a lot of dead code (in
fully featured build) on Linux, but anyway -- you are fine. Some
enterprise users however trust Linux distributors and for them can be
maven repository insecure.
I don't thy to argue bundling, it's just apple must be apple. If you change it - you reflect in the name (see above).
And I'd say OSGI problem must be thought globally in OSS, not only for PostgreSQL. Basically, as I see it, current OSGI support is stuck at version provided by felix that is outdated (dunno why, may be felix guys just switched to org.osgi artifact). That's why a lot of projects dependent on it are outdated too (e.g. hibernate noted above is already at 5.0.7, 4.3.5 was release in April 2014). And it does not mean OSGI is not used in OSS world.
