2. max_parallel_X and EXPLAIN output
This is helped greatly if we can say:
Leader: xxx
Worker 0: yyy
Worker 1: zzz
David Rowley's response on April 30th provides an example explain output should anyone want to an easy source to look at.
Getting across the point that session process are not worker processes seems doable. The implementation detail that they do indeed perform work can be made evident in the explain but otherwise left an implementation detail.
