A fairly large amount of this complexity comes out of the fact that it
now supports restarting and tracks checksums on a per-table basis. We
skipped this in the original patch for exactly this reason (that's not
to say there isn't a fair amount of complexity even without it, but it
did substantially i increase both the size and the complexity of the
patch), but in the review of that i was specifically asked for having
that added. I personally don't think it's worth that complexity but at
the time that seemed to be a pretty strong argument. So I'm not
entirely sure how to move forward with that...

is your impression that it would still be too complicated, even without that?
