FWIW, these refactoring pieces just make sense taken independently,
IMHO.  I don't think that the rest of the patch set is going to make
it into v17, because there's no agreement about the layer we want,
which depend on the use cases we want to solve.  Perhaps 0001 or 0004
could be salvaged.  0005~ had no real design discussion, so it's good
for 18~ as far as I am concerned.  That's something that would be fit
for an unconference session at the next pgconf in Vancouver, in
combination with what we should do to support sequences across logical
replication setups.

Thanks.

Right, will fix.

Not sure that it matters much, TBH.  This is local to sequence.c.

I am not sure to agree with that.  The user already knows that he
should be dealing with a sequence based on the DDL used, and we gain
information about the relkind getting manipulated here.
