If the above wants to be made more explicit in this change maybe:

"archiving, and thus filling" seems awkward to me. Perhaps:
This is mitigated by the fact that WAL segments will not be archived
until they have been filled with some data, even if the archive_timeout
period has elapsed.
Consistency is good; and considering it further the skipped wording is
generally better anyway.
"The automatic checkpoint will be skipped if no new WAL has been written
since the last recorded checkpoint."
Looks good to me.
Could you produce a new patch so Peter has something complete to look at?
Regards,
