Several people saying that the FDW infrastructure isn't sufficient right
now is pretty far from implying that all of them agree that the FDW API
is the way to go.
I'm not sure myself. If it works out it's going to save us some work and
make it more realistic to get there sometime not too far off. But I'm
afraid that the resulting system will feel like our current partitioning
implemenentation. Yes, it kinda works, but it's hard to get started, it
doesn't support too many features and you're kind afraid your relatives
will see what you've done.
