Agreed.

Is there any chance that it may be still resubmitted / reopened for the
March CF?
Actually right now I am in the process of reviewing it, for it would be
really useful for my "OUZO" project (a fork of the RUM access method).

One general comment I can already make is that enabling compression
should be made optional, which appears to be a small and easy addition
to the generic WAL API.

Best regards,
