The other issue with these giant patches is that they cause many largish
patches waiting in the commitfest process to require rebases, which are
sometimes not trivial to do.  Also, all the Postgres forks will
require tedious merges later on.

I have my part of blame for having committed the mass change to
XLogRecPtrIsValid in a2b02293bc65.  I'm starting to regret that now.
