That is not what "integrating dblink" means --- what Itagaki-san is
talking about is moving the dblink_xxx functions into core.  What
you are talking about is actual SQL/MED functionality, which we should
indeed try to get into core someday.  But dblink is a dead end as far
as standards compliance goes.  Between that and the potential security
issues, we should not put it in core.
