Four more versions of PostgreSQL addressing problems people are having
right now. When we reach the point where parallel query is the only way
around the actual bottlenecks in the software people are running into,
someone will finish parallel query. I am not a fan of speculative
development in advance of real demand for it. There are multiple much
more serious bottlenecks impacting scalability in PostgreSQL that need
to be addressed before this one is #1 on the development priority list
to me.
