The discussion is indeed interesting. But again the notes do not indicate
any broad consensus on the roadmap :).
The current inheritance based mechanism has its pros-cons and there seem to
be a multitude of requests/expectations around partitioning from different
quarters. Even basic consensus about the syntax is missing. What we need is
a step-by-step approach (starting with fixing up the syntax - if it can be
done like that) and working our way downwards towards the underlying
representation/planning for partitions...
Regards,
Nikhils
