Agreed with this.

However, I am not sure about the bgw_name_extra. I think I would have
preferred keeping full bgw_name field which would be used where full
name is needed and bgw_type where only the worker type is used. The
concatenation just doesn't sit well with me, especially if it requires
the bgw_name_extra to start with space.
