Hmm, I would say of it that the new partitioning didn't modify the
behavior that existed for inheritance.

That said, I'm not sure if the lack of recursive application of ownership
change to descendant tables is unintentional.

Just to clarify, if we do think of it as a bug, then it will apply to the
inheritance case as well, right?
