Yeah, we're considering it.
After these changes are committed, we will post the patch incorporated
these changes.

But what we need to do first is the discussion in order to get consensus.
Since current design of this patch is to transparently execute DCL of
2PC on foreign server, this code changes lot of code and is
complicated.
Another approach I have is to push down DCL to only foreign servers
that support 2PC protocol, which is similar to DML push down.
This approach would be more simpler than current idea and is easy to
use by distributed transaction manager.
I think that it would be good place to start.

I'd like to discuss what the best approach is for transaction
involving foreign servers.
