Well, you say that. Noted. Now, it also sounds to me that you are
talking about oranges and I am talking about apples, which are two
different things. There is nothing that prevents doing one thing and
the other (I write that after looking at your AI-generated code that
you have mentioned as not reading yourself, yes). Here the apples are
about one full patch set that's posted on this thread, split for
easier review, able to handle all cases we care about in core
including backward-compatibility, relation rewrites, upgrades,
dump/restore, versus oranges clearly presented as partially complete
without a clear complete picture.

Honestly, and to keep it short, I don't see enough arguments to be
convinced that the oranges are better than the apples. Having the
code presenting the oranges to be fully generated by an LLM agent
does not help IMO, either.
