I don't think this is reliable -- what if worker suddenly dies without
accomplishing the job? It is enough to kill the worker during execution
of (possibly long) transaction with DROP SUBSCRIPTION to meet such
situation. Dropping replication origin in one transaction with DROP
SUBSCRIPTION seems natural to me.
