Thanks for pointing it out. It seems like a good idea IMO. I think
pg_resetwal also needs the --machine approach. As --machine approach
needs a good amount of refactoring and discussion, I still think we
can make buildfarm happy by fixing a proposed solution [1]. Perhaps,
we can start a new thread for --machine approach.
Thoughts?
