It'd be good if you could maintain the patches as commits with some
description of why you're doing these changes.  It's a bit hard to
figure that out sometimes and having to dig through a thread with quite
some discussion certainly makes it less likely to be looked at.

Thank you for pointing.  In future I'll maintain patches with their description.

BTW, during FOSDEM developer meeting we decided that I should extract

64-bit in-memory representation of xids and resubmit it, while 64-bit

on-disk reprensentation should become a pluggable table access method.

I didn't manage to do this before current commitfest.  Also, the last commitfest

is already too late for such big changes.  So, I'm marking this RWF.
