Regarding the documentation, I think some minor updates are needed in:
 doc/src/sgml/logical-replication.sgml.
For example, currently it says:
   Publications may currently only contain tables. Objects must be
added explicitly, except when a publication is created for
<literal>ALL TABLES</literal>.
There is also some security-related information in this file which may
need updating for ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA.

Also, I'm not sure the documentation updates in the patches clearly
define how partitions relate to ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA.
For example, if a partitioned table belongs to a different schema to
that of a child partition that belongs to a schema specified for ALL
TABLES IN SCHEMA, is it implicitly included in the publication or not
included?
