Links in commit messages is a really great change.

I have found more details at [1], the issue can be summaried as IIUC:

The current strategy is below:
t1: snapshot1
parser&planner
t2: snapshot2
executor.

which makes the committed tuple between (t1, t2] are visible to user, but if
we share the same snapshot, the committed tuple would not be visible to
user, Chaning it would be a behavior change.
