That's the general rule, but we specifically exempt sequences from the
rule, because it works better that way. Allowing sequence operators
to be non-blocking is considerably more useful for most people than
avoiding holes in the set of resulting row IDs.

All of this is documented in the CREATE SEQUENCE reference page, BTW.
