I'm not arguing that you have those valid reasons. I'm just warning you
that your success so far with this strategy does not guarantee future
results.

I expect you're going to have to get everyone to disconnect after that,
because the triggers oids will all have changed and you'll get errors to
that effect. Also, are there these triggers on the slony replicas? You
really need to be doing DROP TRIGGER/STORE TRIGGER operations if so.
Otherwise, very surprising things may happen.
