Yeah, my take is that this can still be interesting to know, at least for debugging. This would limit the stats to be dropped when the slot is dropped, and that looks like a sound idea. > This spurious call has been introduced in be87200efd.

This is not a subject that has really been touched on the original thread mentioned on the commit, so it is a bit hard to be sure. The only comment is that a previous version of the patch did the stats drop in the slot invalidation path at an incorrect location. > I don't think it's worth to add a test but can do if one feel the need. Well, that would not be complicated while being cheap, no? We have a few paths in the 035 test where we know that a slot has been invalidated so it is just a matter of querying once pg_stat_replication_slot and see if some data is still there. -- Michael
