If we elimiate WAL logging, that means a reinstall is required for even
a postmaster crash, which is a new non-durable behavior.
Also, we just added wal_level = minimal, which might end up being a poor
name choice of we want wal_level = off in PG 9.1. Perhaps we should
have used wal_level = crash_safe in 9.0.
I have added the following TODO:
Consider a non-crash-safe wal_level that eliminates WAL activity
