Are you talking about commit -
3e4b7d87988f0835f137f15f5c1a40598dd21f3d? If yes, do we want to
retain this code in its current form under define UNUSED, is there any
advantage of same. Another point is that won't this commit make
information in xl_btree_vacuum redundant, so shouldn't we remove it
usage during WAL writing as well?
