It is because after upgrade of both publisher and subscriber, the
subscriptions won't work. Both publisher and subscriber should work,
otherwise, the logical replication set up won't work. I think we can
probably do this, if we can document clearly how the user can make
their logical replication set up work after upgrade.

It is different because we don't drop slots automatically anywhere else.
