Well, point number 2 here is invalid. There exist one leaf page p, so that if we start traversing rightlink from p we
willreach all leaf pages. But we practically have no means to find this page. This makes rightlinks not very helpful in
amcheckfor GiST. 

But for consistency I think it worth to install them.
