Perhaps; but it has also been an example of the benefits of having
tight review.  IMO, pg_sleep_for() and pg_sleep_until() are better
than the initial proposal.  For one thing, since each accepts a
specific type, it allows for cleaner syntax.  These are not only
unambiguous, they are easier to code and read than what was
originally proposed:

select pg_sleep_for('10 minutes');
select pg_sleep_until('tomorrow 05:00');
