Sure. For HEAD I don't mind doing so and that makes sense. On
back-branches though that's another story...

There is a reason why I have split that part into a separate patch and
a separate thread:
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/22/1969/
The thing is that this behavior is rather unstable, for example I bump
easily into that:
=# create extension dblink schema pg_temp_3;
ERROR: 42883: function dblink_connect_u(text) does not exist

Yeah, but the temporary schema gets created, which is something that
we want to avoid, so 2PC must fail on that case as well or you would
run again into the same locking hazards if the same temp schema gets
reused in a different backend.
