Really happy to see this.

The only thing that seems to be missing is pl/v8 support. In case anyone from amazon is reading this, I've noticed that the functions floating around on github for the new json data type are using pl/v8, and I suspect this will only become more common.

No plpython either, but since that's an untrusted language, I can totally see why they're not supporting it.

Plus, I've heard that mysql will ignore maxlength for chars, causing issues when moving those to postgres.

That is extremely out of date and no longer relevant.
