Thanks, I don't see any noticeable difference in test timing with new
tests. I have slightly modified the comments in the attached diff
patch (please rename it to .patch).
BTW, I noticed that we don't take any table-level locks for Create
Publication .. For ALL TABLES (and Drop Publication). Can that create
a similar problem? I haven't tested so not sure but even if there is a
problem for the Create case, it should lead to some ERROR like missing
publication.
