Greenplum sponsored my efforts to include Partitioning and Sort
improvements into 8.1 and 8.2 respectively, and have contributed at
least 3 other patches that the community has rejected (for whatever
reason). IMHO, Bizgres was really their way of showing that useful work
had been done, but I agree it is out of date now in many respects
because and only because it hasn't been updated since 8.1.
