A lot of people call it a bug because it makes it impossible for them to
use inheritance the way they want to.

It is likely that it will get changed at some point in the future,
because the consensus seems to be that the other behavior would be more
useful. However, fixing it seems to require building indexes across
multiple tables --- or else a drastic change in the storage
representation of inherited tables --- so it won't happen soon.
