Uh ... no?
I mean, temp tables get cleaned up and unlogged tables get reset to
empty, but the goal of being able to remove permanent relation files
instead of permanently leaking them has, to my knowledge, thus far
eluded us. I had hope to address that when working on UNDO, and other
people have tried as well, but unless I've missed something big,
nobody has thus far succeeded.
