Yea. There are changes that are so invasive that it's useful to go very early, but in this case I'm not seeing it? +1 for removing non-fast promotions. FWIW, I find "fallback promotion" a confusing description. Btw, I'd really like to make the crash recovery environment more like the replication environment. I.e. have checkpointer, bgwriter running, and have an 'end-of-recovery' record instead of a checkpoint at the end. Greetings, Andres Freund
