Description

bayesplot is still offering metrics like rhat that now reside in the posterior package. Not do both packages implement them, the implementations differ (afaik posterior is the up-to-date one while bayesplot is lacking behind).
Bayesplot should either just wrap posterior or completely remove those functions to have a single space for them I think.

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating bayesplot's rhat and other metrics that overlap with posterior, then compare their implementations and public usage before determining whether wrapping posterior or removing the functions is feasible; done means one consistent implementation remains without breaking supported callers.
