  #       a natural state to start recovering from. One idea is to keep a
  #       special pointer to the state that has ben finalized, and prune all
  #       other states.
  #       One issue is that what will become a finalized is revealed only
  #       long after that state has passed, meaning that we need to keep
  #       a history of "finalized state candidates" or possibly replay from
  #       the previous finalized state, if we have that stored. To consider
  #       here is that the gap between finalized and present state might be
  #       significant (days), meaning replay might be expensive.
