I think we need to be clearer about this:

I reject this patch and am moving to rejected on the CF manager.

The "increase chance to skip recovery end checkpoint" is completely
gone as a reason to do this (see other thread).

Plus the premise that we want more restartpoints is wrong, with
reasons explained by Heikki, in detail, months ago.
