Thanks for calling these out, as these are just misunderstandings. We will certainly tweak the language around these.

- Installing the extension itself does not change the default table type, this is only the case on Hydra Cloud and our Docker image.

- "Hydra is not a fork" refers to the fact that Hydra did not fork Postgres; it is an extension. We have put in a lot of effort since forking Citus, but it's not our intent to hide that fact.

- Yes, "Hydra External Tables" is a productization around FDWs, there's more we want to do with it but it hasn't been our focus lately.

Ah cool, thanks! How would I go about adding the extension to my own "FROM postgres:15" Dockerfile?
