It is a new feature. pglogical supports it and it is useful for delayed
secondary server and if, for some business reason, you have to delay when data
is available. There might be other use cases but these are the ones I regularly
heard from customers.

BTW, I have a WIP patch for this feature. I didn't have enough time to post it
because it lacks documentation and tests. I'm planning to do it as soon as this
CF ends.
