I'm amused by the idea of a TL;DR in parentheses at the very bottom of the email, but maybe I'm just easily amused. One idea would be to rename pg_resetxlog to pg_resetwal. I think that's actually an improvement. The "x" in "xlog" is not a clear abbreviation for "write-ahead", especially when we also use "x" in other contexts to mean "transaction" - think "xid". Given our current practices, we could justifiably rename pg_clog to pg_xlog -- after all, that's where we log the status of the xacts.
