Logical decoding currently not usable for all due to lack ofLargeObject-support

The lack of LargeObject-support makes it unusable for installations using it.
 
Any plans to support LOs in logical decoding so we can replicate databases using them?

I personally am not planning to work on it, but would probably spend
some time reviewing design & patches.

It's not entirely clear how to do so in a nice manner, given the
essentially arbitrary writes the API allows.

I understand it's not an easy task. Unfortunately without this logical replication is useless for us.
 
Any PG-company wants to take on this task for funding?
