Makes sense, done that way in the attached.

Idea was to "ease" the review but I'm fine to merge them. Done that way in the
attached.

That's right but that would mean almost duplicating the pg_stat_wal related
stuff (because it can't be removed from the doc until the fields are gone). I
think it's simpler to do it as proposed initially (the end result is the same).

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] Remove wal_[sync|write][_time] from pg_stat_wal and
track_wal_io_timing
a051e71e28a added this information into pg_stat_io (with more details and
granularity), so there is no need to keep it in pg_stat_wal. This also
allows to remove PendingWalStats and simplifies up coming commits related
to per backend WAL statistics. Once done, track_wal_io_timing becomes useless
so it is also removed.
In passing remove the pgstat_prepare_io_time() parameter now that
track_wal_io_timing is gone.
