Yes, it is.  It strikes me as irrational to have jsonb depend on hstore.  Let's be honest with ourselves: if we were
startingover, we wouldn't start by creating our own proprietary hierarchical type and then making the hierarchical type
everyoneelse uses depend on it.  hstore exists because json didn't.  But json does now, and we shouldn't create a jsonb
dependencyon hstore.
