Uh, the text is now:

The <xref linkend="guc-archive-command"> is only invoked on completed
WAL segments. Hence,

as it was before my change. My point in the change is that
archive-timeout causes non-filled archive files to be "completed". I
see why the "By default" could be a problem. I am now thinking we need
a word other than "completed". That suggests filled, when it is not
full. Expired? No. Anyone?
