FWIW, I agree with Peter.  We are supposed to be talking about Server
Administration, not architectural properties of the database
(reliability, performance, etc.).  The proposed move takes things more
off-topic.  In fact, IMO chapter 26 is already too fat and could provide
links to the 'benefits' and 'implementation details' portions (maybe
move to VII Internals?).

I have no problem moving the WAL sections out of administration to
somewhere else, and linking to it from the Reliability section.  In
fact, my new added section is probably the only part of that chapter
that _does_ belong in the administration guide.
