Yes, it started as a large patch touching a lot of PostgreSQL code. But that's probably the only way to implement stuff like this - it requires a lot of additional features (Logical Decoding is one of them) - you have to find all the missing bits first. The intention was always to merge the "shared" parts into the core, and implement logical replication (e.g. BDR) on top of that, as an extension.

So no plan in the very long run to just have the whole of BDR be part of core if the other PostgreSQL will have it ?

The plan is to integrate as much as possible, it just takes a lot of effort and time.
