Thanks, this is a better approach. I have changed a few comments and
made some other cosmetic changes. See attached.
Euler, Peter E., and others, do you have any comments/suggestions?
BTW, why have you created a separate test file for this test? I think
we should add a new test to one of the existing tests in
040_pg_createsubscriber. You can create a dummy subscription on node_p
and do a test similar to what we are doing in "# Create failover slot
to test its removal".
