Such a thing does exist within PGLogical and BDR, yes.
Thanks for your concern about maintainability. So far, that part was not
posing any trouble. Looking at e.g. postgres.c, the sigsetjmp handler
there didn't change all that much in recent years. Much of the code
there is from around 2004 written by you.
However, that shouldn't be your concern at all. Postgres refusing to
start after a minor upgrade probably should, especially when it's due to
an API change in a stable branch.
