I am counting 23 entries. I don't see anything forgotten on top of my mind, and we are indeed missing a lot of new entries.. I feel that like everybody who has added a new worker in the backend has forgotten to update this list. While on it, I also feel like we may have some holes with log_min_messages and the new process_type. At least a bunch of them are missing.. I'll ping that fact on a new thread.
