The key issue seems to be whether we want to preserve compatibility of
the serialized form. If we care about compatibility of the serialized
form, #3 is probably the safest. If somebody comes along and tells us
that we don't have to worry about serial compatibility of this stuff
at all, then #1 is probably the best since it simplifies the code a lot.
I think (and Peter can say for sure) that the compatibility issue is
really only for the case that rmid needs to recover from an existing log
file. Without more insight then I tend to agree that #3 is the best for now.
