I'm thinking to start by counting the number of relations that need them
at the beginning of the checkpoint. Then use the same basic math that
drives the spread writes, where you assess whether you're on schedule or
not based on segment/time progress relative to how many have been sync'd
out of that total. At a high level I think that idea translates over
almost directly into the existing write spread code. Was hoping for a
sanity check from you in particular about whether that seems reasonable
or not before diving into the coding.
