Yes, I think so.

Great, thanks!

One issue, which I think Ashutosh alluded to upthread, is that we need
to make sure it's not unreasonably difficult for foreign data wrappers
to construct the FROM clause of an SQL query to be pushed down to the
remote side.  It should be simple when there are only inner joins
involved, but when there are all outer joins it might be a bit
complex.  It would be very good if someone could try to write that
code, based on the new hook locations, and see how it turns out, so
that we can figure out how to address any issues that may crop up
there.
