However, some of the infrastructure work that are required to make copy handler extensible are intentionally delayed for future patches. Some of the work were proposed as patches in earlier messages, but they were not explicitly referenced in recent messages.

Right.

Sorry for bothering you. As Tomas suggested, I should have
prepared the current summary.

My last e-mail summarized the current information:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20240722.164540.889091645042390373.kou%40clear-code.com#0be14c4eeb041e70438ab7a423b728da

It also shows that your understanding is right.
