Why require psycopg for databases[postgresql]? #198

@retnikt

Description

@retnikt

When installing databases with asyncpg PostgreSQL support using pip install databases[postgresql], psycopg2-binary is installed as well. This is not recommended, and seems also unnecessary given that there are no references to it in the code, and asyncpg does not require it. Is there any reason for including it as a dependency or is it just a relic of an older version?
