Err, no. Sorry if that wasn't clear. 

The patch works but requires refactoring, which I referred to above.
What is now called ResolveRecoveryConflictWithDatabase() would be
changed to a name that makes sense in both normal running and recovery.
That seemed so obvious that I wouldn't be leaving it like that, so I
just referred to that indirectly, which was confusing.

That allows me to refactor out the code that we just spent too long
discussing, so I was hoping to do that in this release. I wasn't
expecting anybody else to spend time on it since it is simple and clear.

I'll add it to 9.2.
