Sometimes in order to complete a full resync on a write traffic burst situation, we need to increase the size of replication backlog.
I have encountered a situation where replication backlog is set to 4GB which caused most of the keys in database evicted. This may be beyond my expectation and other Redis users'.
So i think exclude the replication backlog when computing used memory is a better idea, after all replication log is kind of cache and shouldn't be considered as part of data set.
