Right. Help me understand this a bit - is the wal_removed invalidation
going to conflict with recovery on the standby?

Per the discussion upthread, I'm trying to understand what
invalidation reasons will exactly cause conflict with recovery? Is it
just rows_removed and wal_level_insufficient invalidations? My
understanding on the conflict with recovery and invalidation reason
has been a bit off track. Perhaps, we need to clarify these two things
in the docs for the end users as well?
