And what about replace all "scripts" by one command e.g pg_cmd with

Compatibility is possible solve with parsing arg[0]. If old name
appears there command line will be parsed in old style... This
functionally should keep there for some transition interval. Packager
will be responsible if he create links for backward compatibility or not.
Well, I don't think rolling up the miscellaneous commands into a single
binary with behaviour dependent on arg[0] is a bad idea. I don't think
it's something to be looked at during feature freeze, though, especially
given our backlog. I think we'd need a good long lead time before we
removed the old names from our default install - at least one release
cycle, so it would be two years or more before this became any sort of
reality.
