Why it doesn't show "Seq Scan on x.y" ? it makes certain plans virtually
useless, when you can't know which schema was used?!

You mean like this?

CREATE SCHEMA a;
CREATE SCHEMA b;
CREATE TABLE a.y (id serial, things int);
CREATE TABLE b.y (id serial, things int);
INSERT INTO a.y (things) SELECT x FROM generate_series(1,100,3) z(x);
INSERT INTO b.y (things) SELECT x FROM generate_series(1,100,5) z(x);

EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM a.y INNER JOIN b.y ON a.y.things = b.y.things;

                          QUERY PLAN                          
--------------------------------------------------------------
 Hash Join  (cost=1.45..3.12 rows=20 width=16)
   Hash Cond: (a.y.things = b.y.things)
   ->  Seq Scan on y  (cost=0.00..1.34 rows=34 width=8)
   ->  Hash  (cost=1.20..1.20 rows=20 width=8)
         ->  Seq Scan on y  (cost=0.00..1.20 rows=20 width=8)
(5 rows)

I agree, it's not helpful.  But EXPLAIN (VERBOSE) prefixes the schema:

EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM a.y INNER JOIN b.y ON a.y.things = b.y.things;

                           QUERY PLAN                           
----------------------------------------------------------------
 Hash Join  (cost=1.45..3.12 rows=20 width=16)
   Output: a.y.id, a.y.things, b.y.id, b.y.things
   Hash Cond: (a.y.things = b.y.things)
   ->  Seq Scan on a.y  (cost=0.00..1.34 rows=34 width=8)
         Output: a.y.id, a.y.things
   ->  Hash  (cost=1.20..1.20 rows=20 width=8)
         Output: b.y.id, b.y.things
         ->  Seq Scan on b.y  (cost=0.00..1.20 rows=20 width=8)
               Output: b.y.id, b.y.things
(9 rows)
