(There's also an outstanding issue of turning the syncrepl consumer into an overlay, what happened to that patch?)
That was overcomplicated by the need to deal with consumer-side stuff that was shared with replog, and by the need to move shadow knowledge ahead to allow the frontend to send referrals. The later could be moved to the backends by a helper, to solve this issue (at the cost of extra useless modification sanitization when the database is shadow).
It should be rewritten (todo).
