Right. But I believe the two are not assumed to be used at once. One
can set wal_keep_size larger than max_slot_wal_keep_size but it is
actually a kind of ill setting.

LOG:  terminating process %d to release replication slot \"%s\" because its restart_lsn %X/%X exceeds
max_slot_wal_keep_size
DETAIL:  The slot got behind the limit %X/%X determined by max_slot_wal_keep_size and wal_keep_size.

Mmm. I don't like this.  I feel we don't need such detail in the
message..  I'd like to hear opinions from others, please.

regards.
