Incremental Update

No substantive technical progress since the prior analysis. The two new messages are:

  1. Corey Huinker provides a +1 endorsement with no new technical content beyond affirming the patch removes all usages and mentions of pg_spin_delay().

  2. Nathan Bossart confirms his plan to wait until the v20 development window opens before committing, explicitly noting there's no urgency. This establishes the commit timeline but adds no new technical argument.

The patch remains unchanged and uncontested. No new review concerns, no alternative approaches, and no responses from Andres Freund or Thomas Munro.
