Yeah, and it's unlikely to have built-in DDL replication (warts and
all), global sequences etc either.

I'm hoping to port BDR on top of it, replacing its existing
replication engine with the much-improved one that should arise from
the logical replication support in core. But it's going to be a
while...

For now Alex your best bet is to keep an eye on announce@ and planet
postgresql for news about coming 9.6 BDR tech previews and betas.
