That's a side-effect I didn't realise. Given that, yes, I agree.

Since we don't truncate clog much, do you think it's reasonable to
just take XidGenLock again before we proceed? I'm reluctant to add
another acquisition of a frequently contested lock for something 99.9%
of the codebase won't care about, so I think it's probably better to
add a new LWLock, and I'll resubmit on that basis, but figure it's
worth asking.
