With that change, we don't get the behaviour that's stated in the
document - "The ADD TABLE and DROP TABLE clauses will add and remove
one or more tables from the publication. Note that adding tables to a
publication that is already subscribed to will require a ALTER
SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION action on the subscribing side in
order to become effective" -
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/sql-alterpublication.html.

The publisher stops sending the tuples whenever the relation gets
dropped from the publication, not waiting until alter subscription ...
refresh publication on the subscriber.
