Oh, I thought the reliability bit would bypass WAL even with archiving
turned on (which could be fine in some cases, just not all cases :). Of
course, all of this is still up in the air somewhat. :) If it's a noop
in that case then the 'bypass' bit might be alright to have control SET
RELIABILITY. I'd rather have the flexibility to have them be seperately
grantable though.
Thanks,
