In response to Re: Add checkpoint and redo LSN to LogCheckpointEnd log message  (Kyotaro Horiguchi <horikyota.ntt@gmail.com>)
List pgsql-hackers
Uh.. Sorry, I forgot to change the subject. Resent with the correct
subject.

=====
Hello, this is a follow-up topic of [1] (add LSNs to checkpint logs).

Many user-facing texts contains wording like "WAL location" or such
like. The attached is WIP patches that fixes such wordings to "WAL
LSN" or alikes.

The attached patches is v13 but it is not changed at all from v12.
My lastest comments on this version are as follows.
