I'm also -1 on the inclusive methodology. Forgetting something in the
exclusion list just makes the process less efficient while forgetting
something in the inclusion list may mean breakage. Furthermore,
maintaining two lists does not sound like a good idea.
I worry that extensions using generic WAL might be writing in places we
don't expect and don't think manually adding inclusions is a good
solution as the requirement will not be obvious to the user.
