Or anyone else, hence the coming docs and code changes.

Sorry to bother again about that, but what about the "detached node cleanup" best practice?

Suppose I have 2 nodes, 'node1' and 'node2'. So I am OK to call bdr_part_by_node_names('node2') on node1 to detach node2. But then, is it safe to call bdr_part_by_node_names('node1') to do the cleanup on node2, or should I better call pg_drop_replication_slot('...') instead?

Thanks and Regards,

Sylvain
