Agree.

To me it seems like we didn't reach a consensus regarding switching to
64-bit XIDs. Given that and the fact that the patchset is rather
difficult to rebase (and review) I suggest focusing on something we
reached a consensus for. I'm going to close a CF entry for this
particular thread as RwF unless anyone objects. We can always return
to this later, preferably knowing that there is a particular committer
who has time and energy for merging this.
