The requested information is already available, as discussed. Logical
decoding adds commit ordering for *exactly* the purpose of using it
for replication, available to all solutions. This often requested
feature has now been added and doesn't need to be added twice.
So what we are discussing is adding a completely superfluous piece of
information.
Not including the LSN info does nothing to trigger based replication,
which will no doubt live on happily for many years. But adding LSN
will slow down logical replication, for no purpose at all.
