Yeah, I'd agree that this could be done as some future work so it looks fine to move it to the section for "won't fix" items, but that sounds rather tricky to me as there are dependencies across the partitions. Now, I don't think that we are completely done either, as one documentation patch has been sent here: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20210423180152.ga17...@telsasoft.com Alvaro, could you look at that? -- Michael
