It just means that we only keep it around for compatibility purposes.
We would like to remove it, but can't right now. If we ever stop
supporting version 3 indexes, then we can probably remove it entirely.
I would like to avoid special cases across B-Tree index versions.
Simply maintaining the page flag in the same way as we always have is
the simplest approach.
Pushed the BTP_HAS_GARBAGE patch just now. I'll post a rebased version
of the patch series later on today.
Thanks
