Isn't it a bit late for that?
I'm not eager to have 9.6 get further delayed while we work on this
issue, and I definitely don't believe that this is a sufficiently
important issue to justify reverting join pushdown in its entirety.
We're talking about a minor detail of the EXPLAIN output that we'd
like to fix, but for which we have no consensus on exactly how to fix
it, and the fix may involve some redesign. That does not seem like a
good thing to the week before rc1. Let's just leave this well enough
alone and work on it for v10.
