Table Partitioning is in 8.1

Table Partitioning is in 8.1

I've just read Peter Eisentraut's presentation to the Dutch gov (very
good BTW). On the last page I read that Table Partitioning is a future
for PostgreSQL....which is strange because Constraint Exclusion is an
8.1 feature.

I've had five other people ask about it too in the last 2 weeks, and all
have been surprised that this has now been accepted for 8.1

Is it possible that the Release Notes do not fully explain the
Constraint Exclusion feature? Or is it the consensus that it works but
not quite well enough to make a song and dance about yet?

Certainly, my docs submission is overdue...
