Review the designs and patches and tell us what you think?

Personnaly, I think that allowing multiple connections is a good thing,
especially if the code impact is reduced, which is the case with the
version I sent.

Then for me the next step would be to have a reconnection on errors so as
to implement a client-side failover policy that could help testing a
server-failover performance impact. I have done that internally but it
requires that "Pgbench Serialization and deadlock errors" to land, as it
would just be another error that can be handled.
