Hi,

When reading the code, I found some comments related to the patch here.

				 * XXX Now, this can even lead to a deadlock if the prepare
				 * transaction is waiting to get it logically replicated for
				 * distributed 2PC. Currently, we don't have an in-core
				 * implementation of prepares for distributed 2PC but some
				 * out-of-core logical replication solution can have such an
				 * implementation. They need to inform users to not have locks
				 * on catalog tables in such transactions.
				 */

Since we will have in-core implementation of prepares, should we update the comments here ?

Best regards,
