Yes, I agree... for today. If you gaze into 5 years... double the core count (but not the speed), double the IO rate. What do you see?
Four more versions of PostgreSQL addressing problems people are having right now. When we reach the point where parallel query is the only way around the actual bottlenecks in the software people are running into, someone will finish parallel query. I am not a fan of speculative development in advance of real demand for it. There are multiple much more serious bottlenecks impacting scalability in PostgreSQL that need to be addressed before this one is #1 on the development priority list to me.
