So how do you want us to handle the users questions about how HOT is good for
them and who'd like to have some insights of its inner working, but don't
want to properly learn the internals of PostgreSQL implementation?

Such users exist, are (in my POV) sanely curious about this open source
product they're using, and HOT has received full marketing lights now. I
think we should provide some user-level material about it, and that the fact
it is not a user-visible feature is not really relevant here. Of course
that's only a curious user opinion :)
