Could you please try it a little more verbose ? I am very interested in
the advantages you see in "UNDO for rollback only".

pg_log is a very big argument, but couldn't we try to change the format
to something that only stores ranges of aborted txn's in a btree like format ?
Now that we have WAL, that should be possible.
