Yeah, it looks safe but it would be nice to do some testing to make sure there's nothing we missed.

I'm also vaguely worried whether the right thing will happen in no-journal mode, but it looks like it's better than what we had before (which clearly would have never worked in no journal mode), so I decided to let it pass.

Testing the freeze functionality definitely needs to be done before we trust what happens in no journal mode, for sure.
