...and as I'm sure you're aware will junk much of the replication code
and almost certainly set back the other work that we have brewing for
9.3. So this is a very large curve ball you're throwing there.

Personally, I don't think we should do this until we have a better
regression test suite around replication and recovery because the
impact will be huge but I welcome the suggested changes themselves.

If you are going to do this in 9.3, then it has to be early in the
first Commit Fest and you'll need to be around to quickly follow
through on all of the other subsequent breakages it will cause,
otherwise every other piece of work in this area will be halted or
delayed.
