Yeah, that's my take too. Oleg and Teodor obviously feel it's not "done"
yet, and ISTM leaving it in contrib gives them more flexibility in a
couple of ways:
* they can make user-visible API changes without people getting as upset
as if they were changing core features;
* because it is a removable contrib module, they can (and do) offer
back-ports of newer versions to existing PG release branches.

I think some descendant of tsearch2 will eventually be in core, but
we'll wait till we're pretty certain it's feature-stable.
