Pushed.  Now, coming back to the question of the back patch.  I see a
point in deferring this for 3-6 months or maybe more after PG13 is
released.  OTOH, this implementation is mainly triggered by issues
reported in this area and this doesn't seem to be a very invasive
patch which can cause some de-stabilization in back-branches. I am not
in a hurry to get this backpatched but still, it would be good if this
can be backpatched earlier as quite a few people (onlist and EDB
customers) have reported issues that could have been narrowed down if
this patch is present in back-branches.

It seems Alvaro and I are in favor of backpatch whereas Andres and
Justin seem to think it should be deferred until this change has seen
some real-world exposure.

Anyone else wants to weigh in?
