Review the designs and patches and tell us what you think?

Personnaly, I think that allowing multiple connections is a good thing, 
especially if the code impact is reduced, which is the case with the 
version I sent.

Then for me the next step would be to have a reconnection on errors so as 
to implement a client-side failover policy that could help testing a 
server-failover performance impact. I have done that internally but it 
requires that "Pgbench Serialization and deadlock errors" to land, as it 
would just be another error that can be handled.
