Thank you for this clarification.  I suppose this item is correct as
written.

It says these enhancement on interface allows extensions to implement
join operation in their own way (including remote join in case of FDW),
however, enhancement of postgres_fdw is not yet upstreamed.

So, how about the description below? It focuses on interface enhancement.

- Allow extensions to implement join in their own way using foreign
  data wrappers and customer scan interface.
