Agreed, though I think VACUUM should certainly be included in this.
I'm all for the idea though it seems like a different approach is needed
based on the down-thread discussion. Ultimately, having a way to have
these activities happen without causing issues for replicas is a great
idea and would definitely address a practical issue that a lot of people
run into.
Thanks!
