Not if the idea is to be certain you got everything ... I think what we
have to do is document a manual procedure for archiving the last XLOG
file.
But really my question is "what's the use case for this?" ISTM that
on-line backups are what PITR users want, not something involving
shutting down the postmaster --- and the changes Simon is already making
will be enough to handle those cases.
