I have been using OLA's scripts for a long time and love them.
I have a very large database – 20+ TB with hundreds of partitioned tables.
I purge old data by dropping (merging the old partitions).
It is partitioned by date with weekly partitions going back about 6 months. I have to run daily index maintenance by partition to have any hope of keeping caught up (actually never catch up).
I am now on SQL 2017 and am trying ONLINE Rebuilds by Partition using the Resumable option.
What I find is every day I am rebuilding the current partition in almost every table only as it is always fragmented and likely will be fragmented tomorrow again due to massive # of inserts.
What I would like to do is exclude this partition.
This is the partition the current date falls in.
Ie, I would like to only rebuild past partitions.
Having this as an option would be very helpful.

Ola's scripts are now on github and a Feature request is already there.
