These messages are just debug/tracing messages that were added during recent 
changes to support better retirement handling.

If you are getting many of these, then you might have some issues with ecc or

A block that is prioritised for gc has some sort of error on it and we keep 
this state over unmount/mount cycles with checkpointing.

The messages are just there to show that this was remembered correctly.

This  only slows things by the addition of the messages.
