Hi,

I wanted to hop in here on one particular issue:

+1.

Right now, the lack of sequence replication is a rather large foot-gun on 
logical replication upgrades.  Copying the sequences over during the cutover 
period is doable, of course, but:

(a) There's no out-of-the-box tooling that does it, so everyone has to write 
some scripts just for that one function.
(b) It's one more thing that extends the cutover window.

I don't think it is a good idea to make it mandatory: for example, there's a 
strong use case for replicating a table but not a sequence associated with it.  
But it's definitely a missing feature in logical replication.
