Could you clarify?  I don't get it.  Assuming we keep the trigger
based event logging, the event storage happens at the time of
insert/update/delete statement, how can anything determined at
commit time be useful?

The xxid/txid usage may be slightly unobvious, but it is direct
1:1 mapping to PostgreSQL internal MVCC logic, so you can be
certain that if postgres works then this also works.

I see no need to replace it with something else.
