I am sorry, but as soon as you look at the files it is obvious that they 
are not "just" log files. If someone
is going to delete the xlog they are going to do it no matter what we 
call it. Unless of course we change
the directory to pg_xlogs_do_not_ever_delete, but I doubt that would 
help either.

Sincerely,
