Yeah. Sorry, my bad, you are absolutely right
about get_local_synced_slots() function.
I didn't validate this part of the patch, because first I wanted to get
feedback from hackers.
However, it looks like the people who build it never run Postgres in
production and therefore don't understand the problem and the pain.
I will probably just add yet another workaround to Patroni and start
dropping logical replication slots on standby with failover=true and
synced=false.
