PostgreSQL 9.5 does not yet have the full code required for Bi-Directional
replication. How did you hear that? Was that word of mouth, or is that
written down anywhere so we can correct it?

BDR does exist as production quality software.
http://bdr-project.org/docs/stable/index.html
BDR 0.93 is compatible with PostgreSQL 9.4.
Binary versions are available.

Later versions of BDR will be compatible with later versions of PostgreSQL,
until the features are fully merged. The full project has taken 4 years so
far and we expect it to take another 2 years at least.

I'll write a blog about this because there is clearly some confusion around
this.

In official docs very small information about how to configure servers.

If anyone would like to contribute better documentation, they are very
welcome to do so.
