Thanks for addressing the comments. Just to give more clarity here (so
that you take a informed decision), I am not sure if we actually shut
down slot-sync machinery. We only shot down slot sync worker.
Slot-sync machinery can still be used using
'pg_sync_replication_slots' SQL function. I can easily reproduce the
scenario where SQL function and  reset_synced_slots_info() are going
in parallel where the latter hits 'Assert(s->active_pid == 0)' due to
the fact that  parallel SQL sync function is active on that slot.

thanks
