I have a question about the categorization of replication-related new
features. Currently the following items are listed in the "Streaming
Replication and Recovery" section:

1. Add WAIT FOR command to allow standbys to wait for LSN values to be
written, flushed, or replayed (Kartyshov Ivan, Alexander Korotkov,
Xuneng Zhou)
2 Improve function pg_sync_replication_slots() to wait for replication
synchronization completion (Ajin Cherian, Zhijie Hou)
3. Add server variable wal_sender_shutdown_timeout to limit replica
synchronization waits during shutdown (Andrey Silitskiy, Hayato
Kuroda)
4. Allow wal_receiver_timeout to be set per-subscription and user (Fujii Masao)
5. Add optional pid parameter to pg_replication_origin_session_setup()
to allow parallelization of SQL-level replication solutions (Doruk
Yilmaz, Hayato Kuroda)

I wonder if 4 and 5 should be listed in the "Logical Replication"
section instead because 4 is a new subscription option and 5 is
related to replication origins, which are used only in logical
replication. Please find the attached patch.

Regards,
