IIUC, the tests by Ajin and Nisha show the time to sync sequences
varies from a few seconds to minutes depending on the number of
sequences and machine configuration. This indicates that having an
autosync worker can avoid downtime before upgrade, otherwise, users
always need to use REFRESH SEQUENCES before upgrade.
