Not propagating them through the WAL also has the rather large advantage
of not barring the way to using such slots on standbys.
I think it's technically quite possible to maintain the required
resources on multiple nodes. The question is how would you configure on
which nodes the resources need to be maintained? I can't come up with a
satisfying scheme...
