Yes, agreed; I was just thinking that myself.
We need to decouple the bug fix from any behaviour change of the
CHECKPOINT command, so v3 is not the right thing for backpatching.
We may choose to do v3 for later releases, but there does seem to be a
case to retain the current behaviour in some form as well.
