I don't foresee us removing it any time soon, because there are things
you can do with it that aren't possible in the FDW model
(particularly, issue DDL to the remote server).  Even if we did kick
it out of the core distribution at some point, it could live on as an
externally-maintained extension.

Having said that, it is a bit of a development backwater, so you
should probably not count on anyone being interested enough to add
new features to it.
