I have no objections. I don't really have an argument regarding the use cases for specific applications, but I can see myself use this option for development purposes: I have some experience using pg_recvlogical for debugging purposes with logical decoding plugins in the past, requiring always prior replication slot creation. I can also imagine someone willing to use it on a live server and make sure that there is no replication slot left behind once the tool has disconnected on the receiver side. -- Michael
