FWIW, the outlier also uses pgstat_reset(), just with a small wrapper doing the translation from slot name to slot index. > > What does "private" mean for you?

I doubt there are extension using these functions - and they'd have been broken the way things were in v70, because the signature already had changed. Generally, between major releases, we don't worry too much about changing C APIs. Of course we try to avoid unnecessarily breaking things, particularly when it's going to cause widespread breakage.
