Sure, but does the rest of the world need to keep looking at this message?
Anybody who's actually in that situation probably never looks at the
postmaster log at all.
I think that what would actually be of some use nowadays is a LOG-level
message emitted if the wraparound *isn't* activated immediately at start.
But otherwise, we should follow the rule that silence is golden.
