Great! I'm looking forward to seeing PostgreSQL evolve as an analytics
database for data warehousing. Is there any reason why in-memory database
and MPP is not included?

Are you planning to include the above features in 9.5 and 9.6? Are you
recommending other developers not implement these features to avoid
duplication of work with AXLE?
