That's indeed the plan.  The remaining issue that a user can, under the right
set of circumstances, get a false positive page verification in an orphaned
file failure during base backup.  The warning is harmless for data integrity,
but is non-trivial for the user to resolve since we don't provide any tools for
dealing with orphaned files.  Fixing this in master will reduce churn.
