I've made that exact argument several times on this thread. For example:

http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CA+TgmobKneq=f9e8TzYwG6haoTZxOZPvJqh14mpb9f+XLv67ZQ@mail.gmail.com

I've been focusing on the backward compatibility issue mostly BECAUSE
I don't think the feature has much incremental value. If logical
replication or parallel query required breaking pg_sleep('42'), I
wouldn't be objecting. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear, and I further
apologize if you think I'm being too hard on a new patch submitter.
