I'd rather see that as a part of contrib/ if possible. Is there any
portion of the code you have in mind that makes mandatory putting it
in src/bin?

Pursing efforts on a utility like that is worth the shot IMO (I would

sets of replication scripts), but including it in 9.4 is out of scope.
A saner target would be the 1st commit fest of 9.5.
