I disagree. A user does not need to know that a table is partitionned,

Hmm. But if I created a primary key without thinking too hard about it,
only to discover later that dropping old partitions has become a problem,
I would not be too happy either.
I have not looked at this patch, but my understanding of its design is
the "global" part of the index just makes sure to check a unique index
on each partition. I don't see from that how dropping old partitions
would be a problem.
