+1. Amit's words look fine to me.   I think if we're including this as
a headline feature then it should be to inform people that
partitioning is generally more useable with larger numbers of
partitions, not just that SELECT/UPDATE/DELETE now perform better when
pruning many partitions. The work done there and what's done to speed
up tuple routing in INSERT/COPY both complement each other, so they're
likely good to keep as one in the headline features list. Mentioning
one without the other might leave some people guessing about if we've
addressed the other deficiencies with partitioning performance.
Sadly, they can't refer to the release notes for more information
since they don't detail what's changed in this area :(
