Sorry for coming in late. I have been busy doing some net-archeology to
look for tools using XLP_BKP_REMOVABLE. One is pglesslog that we
already know about. However I have to be honest, I have not been able
to find its source code, nor have I seen another tool making use of
XLP_BKP_REMOVABLE. Could we just remove the flag then?
