Okay. I have kept these notes, but tweaked the wording to be a bit cleaner, replacing the term "till" by "until". To my surprise while studying this point, "till" is a term older than "until" in English literacy, but it is rarely used. > I get it.

The tests of 0001 were still too complex IMO. The changes can be much simpler as it requires only to move the till_end_of_wal() calls from pg_walinspect.sql to oldextversions.sql. Nothing more. -- Michael
