Putting aside the fact that Damien pointed out that the PGXN website
is out of date (and therefore so is my information on the lack of a
cli), no, those are not the same. The code for both projects is there
in 9.1 and can be used for production applications. Those two features
are in no way vapourware, nor are they a WIP, at least as far as the
feature set for this release is concerned.
