I should have been more clear. What I meant was that in-place partial updates are not going to happen any time soon. This is mostly a performance issue, updating a value inside a JSON document will never be lightning fast because you need to copy the whole row and clean up the old version after the transaction has committed. JSON patch would avoid transfering the JSON document back and forth over the network, but the local copy will still need to happen.
