Yes, it is. It strikes me as irrational to have jsonb depend on hstore. Let's be honest with ourselves: if we were starting over, we wouldn't start by creating our own proprietary hierarchical type and then making the hierarchical type everyone else uses depend on it. hstore exists because json didn't. But json does now, and we shouldn't create a jsonb dependency on hstore.
