abouttests that depend on wal files not being removed, but taking no action to guarantee that, merely trusting that
underdefault settings they won't be.  I can't square that design against other TAP tests that do take measures to
preventwal files being removed.  Why is the precaution taken in some tests but not others? 

If we are doing something about that in some test cases, I'd agree with
doing the same thing in others that need it.  It seems more likely to
be an oversight than an intentional test condition.
