The folks that wanted transactional ALTER SEQUENCE might disagree:):

"Move sequences' metadata fields into a new pg_sequence system catalog
(Peter Eisentraut)
A sequence relation now stores only the fields that can be modified by
nextval(), that is last_value, log_cnt, and is_called. Other sequence
properties, such as the starting value and increment, are kept in a
corresponding row of the pg_sequence catalog. ALTER SEQUENCE updates are
now fully transactional, implying that the sequence is locked until
commit. The nextval() and setval() functions remain nontransactional.
