I didn't know that some statements don't write WAL at all if wal_level is minimal (they just fsync at the end). Couldn't that be done in the UNLOGGED to "regular" case? That is: if wal_level is minimal, you can transform an unlogged table into a logged one, without having to rewrite data + indexes: "just" fsync it and be done with it. Wouldn't that be useful?
