Thanks. +1 to remove the pg_wait_for_backend_termination function. The
patch basically looks good to me. I'm attaching an updated patch. I
corrected a minor typo in the commit message, took docs and code
comment changes suggested by Justin Pryzby.
Please note that release notes still have the headline "Add functions
to wait for backend termination" of the original commit that added the
pg_wait_for_backend_termination. With the removal of it, I'm not quite
sure if we retain the the commit message or tweak it to something like
"Add optional timeout parameter to pg_terminate_backend".
