Do you mean that there is no reason for the xid to exist, as it is not
used?  If so, then may I humbly request that it be left in for another
six months in the hopes of using a transaction processing monitor to
distribute postgres across multiple machines safely?  I'll need the xid
if and when I start that project, which will be after I finish the
TPM.  8^)
