Hi Maxim Orlov
   Thank you so much for your tireless work on this. Increasing the WAL
size by a few bytes should have very little impact with today's disk
performance(Logical replication of this feature wal log is also increased a
lot, logical replication is a milestone new feature, and the community has
been improving the logical replication of functions),I believe removing
troubled postgresql Transaction ID Wraparound was also a milestone  new
feature  adding a few bytes is worth it!

Best regards
