Peter's concern seemed to be that the use of a subscription option,
though convenient, isn't an intuitive natural fit for providing this
feature (i.e. ability to skip a transaction by xid). I tend to have
that feeling about using a subscription option for this feature. I'm
not sure what possible alternative syntax he had in mind and currently
can't really think of a good one myself that fits the purpose.
I think that the 1st and 2nd patch are useful in their own right, but
couldn't this feature (i.e. the 3rd patch) be provided instead as an
additional Replication Management function (see 9.27.6)?
e.g. pg_replication_skip_xid
