I was looking at prior discussions on this topic to see if there are
any other open design points apart from this and noticed that the
points raised/discussed in the email [1] are also not addressed. IIRC,
the key point we discussed was that after promotion, the existing
replication objects should be removed (either optionally or always),
otherwise, it can lead to a new subscriber not being able to restart
or getting some unwarranted data.
See setup_subscriber.
