Yes, that is possible. However, during the upgrade of the publisher
node, if the user wants to shift the workload to the subscriber then
ideally she should sync all sequences. But I think there could be
cases where users may wish to selectively replicate sequences, so we
can consider such cases as well once the main feature is committed.
