Thanks!

Instead of using pg_logical_replication_slot_advance() for each synced slot
and during sync cycles what about?:
- keep sync slot synchronization as it is currently (not using
pg_logical_replication_slot_advance())
- create "an hidden" logical slot if sync slot feature is on
- at the time of promotion use pg_logical_replication_slot_advance() on this
hidden slot only to advance to the max lsn of the synced slots
I'm not sure that would be enough, just asking your thoughts on this (benefits
would be to avoid calling pg_logical_replication_slot_advance() on each sync
slots
and during the sync cycles).
