Similarly, does it seem likely that Slony-I users would need to worry
about this?

From what I have been seeing, I don't think so, because the
transactions that cause the XIDs to get generated that are of interest
will all be write transactions, and hence exempt from this:

- User transactions that are writing to tables will be exempt :-).

- On an origin node, slon connections that write out SYNC events every
so often are, obviously, write transactions that will again be exempt.

- Transactions that read data from a provider could be affected, as
they are indeed read-only, but their XIDs aren't of interest.

If I speculate right, then there's not much here to worry about. But
best to check... And we'll certainly be testing as this gets
applied...
