RE: Slow catchup of 2PC (twophase) transactions on replica in LR

We also tried to port our patch for PG16, but the largest barrier was that a
replication command ALTER_SLOT is not supported. Since the slot option two_phase
can't be modified, it is difficult to skip decoding PREPARE command even when
altering the option from true to false.
IIUC, Adding a new feature (e.g., replication command) for minor updates is generally
prohibited

We must consider another approach for backpatching, but we do not have solutions
for now.
