Did you not read my previous email that we might have added this so we
can upgrade replicas? I am sure I can dig out the commit that added
this and find the original cause, but running pg_upgrade on replicas is
enough of a reason to me. Yeah, we could add a flag to pg_upgrade to
allow this if you are not upgrading replicas, but why bother? It might
even work if you create the new replicas with the same WAL segment size,
but why add complexity for pg_upgrade, which is already complex enough.
