It only provides a building block towards that. The "Synchronizing the logical
replication slots from Primary to Standby" project IMO needs all of the
infrastructure in this patch. With the patch, a logical rep solution can
e.g. maintain one slot on the primary and one on the standby, and occasionally
forward the slot on the standby to the position of the slot on the primary. In
case of a failover it can just start consuming changes from the former
standby, all the necessary changes are guaranteed to be present.

That's unrelated to this patch. There's no changes to the "higher level"
logical replication code dealing with pubs and subs, it's all on the "logical
decoding" level.
I think this because logical rep wants to be able to concurrently perform
ongoing replication, and synchronize tables added to the replication set. The
pg_16399_sync_16392_7187728548042694423 slot should vanish after the initial
synchronization.
