Sure, a new thread on -hackers.

Defining non-inheritable constraints on *partitioned* parent tables is
disallowed because they would never be checked and so pointless.  I'm not
sure if we'd want to include the regular inheritance case (ALTER TABLE
child INHERIT new_parent) in this new development, but if we do, we'll
have to arrange to skip cloning parent's non-inheritable constraints.
