I agree. I have split the patches accordingly. Do have a look.
Pending work is:
1. Add pgoutput support for the new streaming two-phase commit APIs
2. Add test cases for two-phase commits with streaming for pub/sub and
test_decoding
3. Add CREATE SUBSCRIPTION command option to specify two-phase commits
rather than having it turned on by default.
