Are we comfortable with the name pg_subscriber? It seems too general.
Are we planning other subscriber-related operations in the future? If
so, we should at least make this one use a --create option or
something like that.
Not really sold on the name (and I didn't much like the name
pglogical_create_subscriber either, although it's a cool facility and
I'm happy to see us adopting something like it).
ISTM we should have a name that conveys that we are *converting* a
replica or equivalent to a subscriber.
The pglogical tool includes the pg_basebackup run, so it actually
"creates" the subscriber from scratch. Whether this tool is also doing
that is still being discussed.
