Yeah, see my last attempt at https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/26961.1589260206%40sss.pgh.pa.us I'm probably going to go with that, but as given that patch conflicts with my other pending patch to change the catalog description tables, so I want to push that other one first and then clean up the wait- event one. In the meantime, I'm going to look at these naming issues, which will also be changing that patch ... regards, tom lane
