To my understanding, pg_publication_tables doesn’t just contain publication
properties, but also information about the tables included in the
publication. As long as the exposed information about the published tables
is relevant in the context of publications in logical replication, I think
it’s reasonable to include it in pg_publication_tables. IMHO replica
identity seems like relevant information.
