Changeset Extraction sounds too geeky to me.  Let me try some
simplification of it.  Why "set"?  We capture each change; whether
together they form a set doesn't matter much.  Also, since the changes
we're talking about occur in the stored data, I propose we use "Data
Change" rather than "Changeset".  Also, why "Extract"?  We're not
extracting these changes after the fact -- rather we capture them as
they transit through the WAL system.

So, I would propose "Data Change Capture".
