Since two separate issues 1. using reltargetlist instead of attr_needed and 2. system columns usage in FDW are being tackled here, we should separate the patch into two one for each of the issues.
While I agree that the system columns shouldn't be sent to the remote node, it doesn't look clear to me as to what would they or their values mean in the context of foreign data. Some columns like tableoid would have a value which is the OID of the foreign table, other system columns like xmin/xmax/ctid will have different meanings (or no meaning) depending upon the foreign data source. In case of later columns, each FDW would have its own way of defining that meaning (I guess). But in any case, I agree that we shouldn't send the system columns to the remote side.
Is there a way we can enforce this rule across all the FDWs? OR we want to tackle it separately per FDW?
