The main stall at this point is that the developer who wrote that
patch no longer spends much time working on Postgres. AFAICS there is
nobody working on this for 9.3 mainly because its not a priority, nor
will implementing that fix the OP's request.

There is no paralysis because there never was a blocker, only a
request for backwards compatibility, which is easily possible to
implement.
