Yep.

This is not surprising, considering that columnar store is precisely the
reason for starting the work on table AMs.
We should certainly look into integrating some sort of columnar storage
in mainline. Not sure which of zedstore or VOPS is the best candidate,
or maybe we'll have some other proposal. My feeling is that having more
than one is not useful; if there are optimizations to one that can be
borrowed from the other, let's do that instead of duplicating effort.
