Yeah, I understand that. On the other hand, there is other places that
rely on a timeout, for example:
- wait_for_catchup(), wait_for_slot_catchup(),
wait_for_subscription_sync() by making use of poll_query_until.
- wait_for_log() by setting a max_attempts.
Couldn't we have the same concern for those ones? (aka be suitable on
slower machines).

I created a dedicated v4-0002-Add-retained-WAL-test-in-035_standby_logical_deco.patch
just shared up-thread.
