Yeah, I agree that "a partition key" is not the right term to use there
(and that term is used in the press release text also). However I don't
think "remaining" is the right word there either, because it sounds as
if you're removing something.

For the Spanish translation of the press release, we ended up using the
equivalent of "for the data that does not match any other partition".
