It was the discussion on that thread that led to the invention of
REALLOCATE_BITMAPSETS

We could check what portions of REALLOCATE_BITMAPSETS are
backpatchable. It may not be applicable very far back because of v16's
00b41463c. The bms_del_member() would have left a zero set rather than
doing bms_free() prior to that commit.  There could be a bug in v16.
