That is one horridly mangled Changelog there :-/ It looks like it's

Anyway; no objections to any of that, but I just wanted to mention that
there are other problems with long term pinning that haven't been

A long time ago I proposed an interface to mark pages as pinned, such
that we could run compaction before we actually did the pinning.
