Oh - so it will not be possible to do an online backup
_without_ forcing a WAL switch any more?
Well, previously, you would have always had to simulate a wal switch, by
working out which is the current wal file and copying that. Otherwise
your online backup wouldn't be complete.
What Simon is describing sounds like a big step forward from that
situation. It should let me delete half the code in my pitr
backup/failover scripts. Definitely a Good Thing.
