I'm hoping that we can come up with something that extensions can
participate in, without the core having to know ahead of time what those
extensions are or how they would be categorized.
My vision is something like
max_processes = 512 # requires restart
process_allowances = 'connection:300 superuser:10 autovacuum:10
parallel:30 replication:10 someextension:20 someotherextension:20'
# does not require restart
