Thanks for starting this thread !

The Index Skip Scan patch could affect a lot of areas, so keeping MDAM 
in mind is definitely important.

However, I think the key part to progress on the "core" functionality 
(B-tree related changes) is to get the planner functionality in place 
first. Hopefully we can make progress on that during the November 
CommitFest based on Andy's patch.

Best regards,
