* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 373+ messages in thread

From: Álvaro Herrera @ 2026-04-20 09:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.

* [PATCH 1/2] REPACK: do not require the user to have REPLICATION
@ 2026-04-20 09:38  Álvaro Herrera <alvherre@kurilemu.de>

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no
concern that the slot will leak data of other users, because the
MAINTAIN privilege on the table is required anyway; requiring
REPLICATION is user-unfriendly without providing any actual protection.

A related aspect is that the REPLICATION attribute is not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since
commit e76d8c749c31 made REPACK use a separate pool of replication
slots.

Because there are now successful concurrent repack runs in the
regression tests, we're forced to run test_plan_advice under
wal_level=replica.
