Yes. Given the difficulties we had in getting the contrib/dblink
regression tests to pass in the buildfarm, and the environmental
sensitivity it has, I don't think making the core tests depend on it
is a hot idea. In any case I doubt it would be very useful, since
a script based on that still doesn't let you issue concurrent queries.
