Sounds good.

+1 to separating the PG_MAX_... macro move. I will take a closer look
at the async patch in isolation; there's some work I'm doing to fix a
bug Kashif (cc'd) found recently, and it has me a bit unsure about my
chosen order of operations in the async part of fe-connect.c. That
deserves its own email, but I need to investigate more.

Thanks!
