    """
    Test that GC is able to collect all old layers even if them are forming
    "stairs" and there are not three delta layers since last image layer.

    Information about image layers needed to collect old layers should
    be propagated by GC to compaction task which should take in in account
    when make a decision which new image layers needs to be created.

    NB: this test demonstrates the problem. The source tree contained the
    `gc_feedback` mechanism for about 9 months, but, there were problems
    with it and it wasn't enabled at runtime.
    This PR removed the code: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6863
