The patches can be reordered so that we are still able to deliver SLRU refactoring in PG15. > As a more general point, I don't like plastering these bulky casts all > over the place. Casts hide problems. Regarding the casts, I don't like them either. I agree that it could be a good idea to invest a little more time into figuring out if this transit can be handled in a better way and deliver this change in the next CF. However, if no one will be able to suggest a better alternative, I think we should continue making progress here. The 32-bit XIDs are a major inconvenience for many users. -- Best regards, Aleksander Alekseev
