Yeah, Kouber do you think you could upgrade to 17.11 or 18.5? (current schedule
is August 13th, 2026 ([1])).

Yeah. In addition to the OIDs I could think about the mxid (but I think they would
be better suited in xid_wraparound). The others look way more difficult (if doable)
to do outside pg_resetwal.

So I'd be tempted to just add an oid_wraparound one and we could add this test
