spill to disk and need an efficient storage mechanism. The natural implementation of this in Postgres would be a table, not the slru. If
This is what I think the people's real problem is, the implementation becomes a more complex when including payloads (larger ones even more so). I think its a side-track to discuss queue vs condition variables. Whether a notify is 20 bytes through the network or 8192 bytes doesn't change its design or purpose, only its size.
