Thanks for pushing that. I'd also named it 'rootRelation' in my original
patch before David had objected to calling it that, because a command may
not specify the "actual" root of a partition tree; it could be a non-root
partitioned table. He'd suggested 'partitionedTarget' for the new field
[1], stressing the "target" part. Maybe, 'rootRelation' isn't too
confusing though.

Thanks,a
Amit
