I agree. If you think that it might need a row to apply DML commands (UPDATE,
DELETE) in the future or that due to a row filter that row should be available
in the subscriber (INSERT-only case), it makes sense to send all rows that
satisfies any row filter.

The current code already works this way. All row filter are combined into a
WHERE clause using OR. If any of the publications don't have a row filter,
there is no WHERE clause.
