Alexey's patch is the rebased version of previous Euler's patch set, with slot type mistake fixed, and adapted to current changes in the master branch. It also has testing improvements. On the other hand, the new patches from Euler include more fixes and the implementation of filtering in COPY (as far as I can tell from code) which addresses my particular pain point with BDR. Hope they'll be joined soon. :)

I'm not sure this is a bug as after the subscription is added (or a new table added to the publication and then the subscription is refreshed), the whole table is synchronized using COPY statement. Depending on size of the table it can take some time. You may want to check srsubstate in pg_subscription_rel instead of just sleep for more reliable implementation.
