Sure, but how will we justify documenting (autovacuum launcher and autovacuum worker) and not (logical replication launcher and logical replication worker)? I think we can document the type of workers that are part of core-server functionality. We can make some generic statement on the workers that can be launched by extensions. -- With Regards, Amit Kapila. EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
