If 2PC patches are ready and nested transactions not, is it worth
considering applying 2PC when subtransactions aren't ready? I
appreciate the work that will cause, so I'm not saying this lightly.
It's probably too early to make that decision now, but I'd suggest
keeping it in mind in case something goes off the rails.
