If the folks doing those things can get done in time, great. I'm even
willing to push out the release schedule (now, not later) to make it
more likely they can get done. What I'm not willing to do is define
the release in terms of "it happens when these things are done". We
learned the folly of that approach in 7.1 and 7.2. Setting a target
date and sticking to it works *much* better.

I can't see any need for protocol-level support for such a thing.
Why wouldn't it just be some more SQL commands?
(Not that I believe in 2PC as a real-world solution anyway, but that's
a different argument...)
