Yes, that part isn't cleaner at all. The part where we have a separate
Object to deal with I like better, and I tried to reconciliate the two
view points.

Note that the event trigger would come installed and disabled, the user
would only have to activate it:

ALTER EVENT TRIGGER distribute_my_cluster ENABLE;

Still the same issue.

So ok, I withdraw my consensus proposal. I tried.
