Hi hackers, I noticed that commit_ts.c has the following comment:
* XLOG interactions: this module generates an XLOG record whenever a new * CommitTs page is initialized to zeroes. Also, one XLOG record is * generated for setting of values when the caller requests it; this allows * us to support values coming from places other than transaction commit. * Other writes of CommitTS come from recording of transaction commit in * xact.c, which generates its own XLOG records for these events and will * re-perform the status update on redo; so we need make no additional XLOG * entry here. IIUC the ability for callers to request WAL record generation is no longer possible as of 08aa89b [0]. Should the second sentence be removed?
