I see that at many places in code we use char[NAMEDATALEN] for names.
However, for slotname, we use NameData, see:
typedef struct ReplicationSlotPersistentData
{
/* The slot's identifier */
NameData name;
So, it will be better to use the same for pgstat purposes as well. In
other words, I also agree with this decision and I see that Vignesh
has already used NameData for slot_name in his recent patch.
