I'm a bit confused about this now.

We seem to have timeline following, yet no failover slot. How do we now
follow a failover event?

There are many and varied users of logical decoding now and a fix is
critically important for 9.6.

Do all decoding plugins need to write their own support code??

Please explain how we cope without this, so if a problem remains we can fix
by the freeze.
