Should this go in the documentation somewhere? Maybe in the pg_upgrade
notes? I still don't understand the mechanism. You also say that:

But that kind of surprises me too, actually, because it seemed like
pg_upgrade wiped out the LSN locations of the subcriber, making it start
all over.

Upgrading a subscriber seems like something that could/should work, so it
should be documented if pg_upgrade is incompatible with maintaining a
subscription, shouldn't it?
