pg_usleep() should pretty much never used for sleeps that long, at least in the backend - depending on the platform they're not interruptible. Most of the things changed here are debugging tools, but even so, it's e.g. pretty annoying. E.g. you can't normally shut down while a backend is in pre_auth_delay. So I'm not sure it's the right direction to make pg_usleep() easier to use... Greetings, Andres Freund
