Just an idea in a slightly different direction, but I'm wondering if
we can simply merge the content of backup_label into control file.
The file is 8192 bytes long, yet only 256 bytes are used. As a result,
we anticipate no overhead. Sucha configuration would forcibly prevent
uses from from removing the backup information.
In second thought, that would break the case of file-system level
backups, which require backup information separately from control
data.
Exactly -- but we do have a proposal to do the opposite and embed
pg_control into backup_label [1] (or hopefully recovery_control).
