Actually, what the manpage says is:

This option should be set TRUE when working with
newer releases that properly support this flag. It must  be  set
TRUE  when  using the accesslog overlay for delta-based syncrepl
replication support.

So, that clearly states it should *always* be TRUE unless you have a 2.3.11 
or earlier consumer, which is technically not allowable.  There is zero 
reason for this tunable to exist.  It should be deprecated and the internal 
code changed to simply set the flag to TRUE.  One less item for anyone to 
have to ever deal with is a win.
