While yes, the usual convention is to use the upstream name, and that
is rec-mode, there are also packages which break this convention
somewhere.  For instance, there are many packages which drop their
-mode suffix on ELPA or MELPA, in which we use the dropped suffix
convention, most notably emacs-org.

On a somewhat related note, due to a bug report from yours truly, rec-
mode has recently bumped its version.  There is no tag yet and it's not
available through ELPA (though it is already in their git), but the
latest version as of writing is 1.8.2.  If you still insist on the
rename, I suggest doing a series, which
1. bumps the version and changes the origin,
2. moves the package to emacs-xyz (optional), and
3. does the rename,
once we have an official 1.8.2 tarball from somewhere, or otherwise
reference the version-bumping commit. 
In any case, we shouldn't add noise such as re-exporting the package
from a different module.

Cheers
