I don't think this is correct at all. The facility for pkeys or unique
constraints on partitioned tables simply didn't exist before v11:
$ psql
psql (10.13)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# create table p(f1 int primary key, f2 int) partition by list(f2);
ERROR: primary key constraints are not supported on partitioned tables
LINE 1: create table p(f1 int primary key, f2 int) partition by list...
^
postgres=# create table p(f1 int unique, f2 int) partition by list(f2);
ERROR: unique constraints are not supported on partitioned tables
LINE 1: create table p(f1 int unique, f2 int) partition by list(f2);
^
so the fact that they're restricted in this way as of v11 and up
does not represent any loss of functionality.
