Why? The main fork is not actually necessary, and the beginning of
recovery would make sure that any existing main fork gets removed and
that the main fork gets recreated by copying it from the init fork,
which is WAL-logged. So we definitely have to log the init fork, but
logging the main fork is just useless data in the WAL record. Or you
have something else in mind?
