I wouldn't worry about that too much -- the WAL issue is
self-limiting and not likely to ever cause a failure. The biggest
risk is that every now and then some new individual will notice it
and waste a bit of time investigating. The LO issue, on the other
hand, could easily eat enough disk to cause a failure.
