I thought so, but am slowly dropping that point of view. In favor of
something like: hey, if you manage to do it all automatically, cool, go
for it!

Yes, SE certainly has merit. Combine it with some sort of maintained
CLUSTERing order and it's worth doing, IMO.
I'm not convinced about dynamic partitioning being able to generally
replace explicit partitioning anytime soon.

Well, implicit or automatic partitioning is still a pretty new concept
to me, but I'm slowly beginning to like it. Thank you for pointing me at it.
