Then perhaps we do need to be thinking of moving this to PG11 instead of
exposing an option that users will start to use which will result in WAL
naming that'll be confusing and inconsistent. I certainly don't think
it's a good idea to move forward exposing an option with a naming scheme
that's agreed to be bad.
