I have to admit it will become time to move v9.4 development cycle
soon, and row-level security patch still needs some more works to
merge into the core.
At least, it does not stand on 40km point at marathon.

One thing we need to consider is, the current version of RLS patch
has cut-down functionality about writer side on INSERT / UPDATE
commands. So, we anyway needed to work on this feature on v9.4
development cycle.
So, I can agree to move this patch to the v9.4 development cycle.
Also, I'd like to have discussion for this feature in earlier half of
v9.4 to keep time for the remaining features, such as check on
writer-side, integration with selinux, and so on.

Thanks,
