Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

Yes, but with memory corruption, there's no telling what the secondary
might be writing to disk, or returning for a read. It's good to try and
fortify the primary, but:

is really the only option.

Of course, I'd fully appreciate it if he sponsored the development of
that feature for 0.7 along with an online-consistency check of the two
mirrors ;-)
