What was originally going to be 8.5 was renumbered to be 9.0.  None of
the planned partitioning improvements are included in it.  The changes
planned there aren't a large as you seem to think they are though.
Partitions will still be inherited tables, the improvements are just
going to reduce the amount of setup/trigger code you need to write and
make management tasks easier.
