Marking this patch as "Returned with feedback". Even with the
more-fundamental arguments of putting such replication solution
in-core or not (I am skeptical as well btw), on a
code-base-discussion-only I don't think that this patch is acceptable
as-is without more structure of jsonb to do on-memory manipulation of
containers (aka remove ObjTree stuff).
