> The ReplicateContext object is created once per ReplicationSource and then
> reused when we have something to ship to the sinks.
> This is a misguided optimization. ReplicateContext is very lightweight
> (definitely compared to the all the work and copying the ReplicationSource is
> doing) and, crucially, it prevent the the entries array from being collected
> after it was successfully copied to the sink, wasting potentially a lot of
> heap.
> The entries array itself holds reference to WAL entries on the heap, that now
> also cannot be collected.
