I understand your logic about not everything is copy-able, just what is
documented, but this is a different case. I am not complaining that it
is not copying the REPLICA IDENTITY, but rather that it is copying it in
a WRONG WAY, changing its property from FULL to DEFAULT. I think that
is a reasonable complaint. If you are going to attempt to copy it
erroneously, then I think you should consider that a bug and fix it.
Otherwise, remove it and don't try to copy it. Does that seem reasonable?
