To me the actual blocker seems to be the implementation. Which doesn't
look like it's going to be ready for 9.5; there seems to be loads of
work left to do. It's hard to provide non flame-bait feedback if the
patch isn't ready. I'm not sure what review you'd like to see at this
stage?

I think your approach of concentrating on the technical parts is sane,
and I'd continue going that way.
