Jan Wieck approached me during pgconf.dev to reproach me of this
problem. He also said he had some code to fix-up the commit TS
afterwards somehow, to make the sequence monotonically increasing.
Perhaps we should consider that, to avoid any problems caused by the
difference between LSN order and TS order. It might be quite
nightmarish to try to make the system work correctly without
reasonable constraints of that nature.
